The map above shows which countries have population where are least 90% of the population can speak English as either a first language or as an additional language.
The big caveat is that it’s based on self-reported levels of English ability so is likely not 100% accurate. For example I find it difficult to believe that a greater share of people in Sudan can speak English than in Canada.
