Singapore
Singapore should be listed as english as its main language
Bhutan, Maldives
Bhutan and the Maldives should probably not be listed. --dab (𒁳) 09:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Quebec
English is not an official language in Quebec, although it is an official language nationwide in Canada. Turns out, the only bilingual province in Canada is New Brunswick. KriZe ♠♦♣♥ 16:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Solomon Is
Can someone who knows how change the clickable area over the Solomon Islands to not point to New Guinea, as it is a separate country! Thankyou Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
US English
As United States English redirects to American English, I've changed the link to American English. – Marco79 14:15, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Anglosphere / Anglophone World
This template gives a helpful and useful visual representation of the Anglosphere, but perhaps it's description presents the Angloshere in terms which are too linguistically based - ie the Anglosphere seems to be more a matter of socio-cultural values, and politico-legal ideas than language. It does not seem that the Anglosphere is the same thing as the Anglophone world, although there is a lot of overlap. Arcan (talk) 11:07, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
South Africa?
Shouldn't South Africa be light blue? While it certainly has a higher percentage of its population as native English speakers than, say, India, that percentage is still minority by a substantial amount. --Jfruh (talk) 20:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- Languages_of_South_Africa agrees with this: only a sixth are native English. --BozMo talk 21:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
English language in Quebec
There is an error in this template. English language is not an official language at all of Quebec. It is spoken by some people (most of the time in Montreal) but is not official (see Charter of the French Language).

- Canada is officially bilingual, with English one of the official languages of the country. Why should the provincial level be considered more significant than the federal one? 67.150.253.17 (talk) 00:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
- In very short - French is the only official language of Quebec. But it is not the only official language in Quebec. WilyD 05:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Link
Is there a reason there is no link to Scottish English while the template links to Mid-Ulster English? The political status of both areas are practically identical, and British English is the written variety in both while being the spoken variety in neither.

Asian links not good
The link over Malaysia seems to be to "languages of Uganda"? Singaporean English should be listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.32.103.197 (talk) 23:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Singapore
Singapore has a "predominantly English-speaking society". its main language is english [1] 129.100.195.138 (talk) 22:43, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Denmark, and maybe others
Denmark, and most likely other nations, English is the predominant second language spoken by a majority of people. It should be added to the map, and in fact the map should be updated.
