English/ELF/Globish is not connected to any country anymore but the "native language" of the urbanized global culture (the one you can also see here on youtube as most common sense). 3/4 of English-speakers are no classic natives. for simple reasons: if one Polish guy meet an Italian in Berlin then they speak usually English. If they meet together 5 Germany then all switch to English. This synchronization mechanism of a lingua franca spreads around the world - makes it in every second even more important. No chance ever has Chinese or Spanish (total absurd). Both regions have soon reached their demographic peak. Then it goes down. This is not the case with more liberal countries for several reasons. India will be the biggest country and the biggest English-speaking one - together with the neigboars btw, (Pakistan, Bangladesh ... all with English as official language and most relevant lingua franca - and all will have an huge population). Similar in Africa with Nigeria ... in Europa English is already English the most spoken language and raster raising then all the other languages. There are some studies saying that English will be learned 2015 from about 3 billion people in the world. The real question is: will for the next time at first be China (several hundred of million people are learning English) or India faster to become the biggest English-speaking country ...
It helps the various countries speaking English to communicate effectively and understand each other in the process of conservation.
This is a must watch for me! Thanks for the upload ^-^
