Research by ProEnglish has found that 54 countries around the world have English as an official language. Most of those countries are located in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.
The research shows that the U.S. is out of step with most English-speaking nations, and is one of the few countries that operate without an official language. Ten Latin American countries have Spanish as their official language.
Of the 54 countries that have made English their official language, 27 countries, or half, have made English their sole official language. Those countries are:
|
Antigua & Barbuda Bahamas Barbados Belize Dominica Micronesia Fiji Gambia Ghana Grenada Guyana Jamaica Kiribati Liberia |
Namibia Nigeria Sechelles Sierra Leone Solomon Islands St. Lucia St. Vincent Grenadines St. Kitts & Nevis Trinidad & Tobago United Kingdom Uganda Zambia Zimbabwe
|
Perhaps the United States should also make English its official language.
