<P> The majority of countries where English is an official language are former territories of the British Empire . Notable exceptions include Rwanda, which was formerly a Belgian territory, and Eritrea, which was an Italian colony where the British Empire maintained control only in World War II and shortly after (1941--1952). English is the sole official language of the Commonwealth of Nations . English is one of the official languages of the United Nations, the European Union and the International Olympic Committee . Although English is not an official language at the national level in the United States, many states and territories within the United States have English as an official language . </P> <P> The United Kingdom, United States, Australia and New Zealand, where the overwhelming majority of native English speakers reside, do not have English as an official language de jure, but English is considered to be their de facto official language due to its historical and widespread use in these nations . </P> <Table> Countries where English is a de jure official language <Tr> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> Region </Th> <Th> Population </Th> <Th> Primary language? </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Antigua and Barbuda </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 85,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Bahamas </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 331,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Barbados </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 294,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Belize </Td> <Td> Central America </Td> <Td> 288,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Botswana </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 1,882,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Burundi </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 10,114,505 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cameroon </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 22,534,532 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canada </Td> <Td> North America </Td> <Td> 35,985,751 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cook Islands </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 20,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Dominica </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 73,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Federated States of Micronesia </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 111,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Fiji </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 828,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gambia </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 1,709,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ghana </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 27,000,000 </Td> <Td> Yes (used as lingua franca) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Grenada </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 106,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Guyana </Td> <Td> South America </Td> <Td> 738,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> India </Td> <Td> Asia </Td> <Td> 1,247,540,000 </Td> <Td> No (but official and educational) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ireland </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> 4,581,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jamaica </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 2,714,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Kenya </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 45,010,056 </Td> <Td> Yes (used in business and education) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Kiribati </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 95,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Lesotho </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 2,008,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Liberia </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 3,750,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Malawi </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 16,407,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Malta </Td> <Td> Europe </Td> <Td> 430,000 </Td> <Td> No (but official and educational) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Marshall Islands </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 59,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mauritius </Td> <Td> Africa / Indian Ocean </Td> <Td> 1,262,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Namibia </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 2,074,000 </Td> <Td> No (used as lingua franca) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nauru </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 10,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nigeria </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 182,202,000 </Td> <Td> Yes (used as lingua franca) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Niue </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 1,600 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Pakistan </Td> <Td> Asia </Td> <Td> 199,085,847 </Td> <Td> No (but official and educational) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Palau </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 20,000 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Papua New Guinea </Td> <Td> Oceania </Td> <Td> 7,059,653 </Td> <Td> No </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Philippines </Td> <Td> Asia </Td> <Td> 102,885,100 </Td> <Td> No (but official and educational) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rwanda </Td> <Td> Africa </Td> <Td> 11,262,564 </Td> <Td> No (but official and educational) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Saint Kitts and Nevis </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 50,000 </Td> <Td> Yes </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Saint Lucia </Td> <Td> Caribbean </Td> <Td> 165,000 </Td> <Td> No (French -
