    Hi Friends...

    Just wanted to tell the one who hate Indians' speaking English, that India is the Second Largest English Speaking Country Followed By Nigeria and then UK.

    The first one is USA as it should be.

    What do you say???

    3 Canada 17,694,830
    4 Australia 15,013,965

    6 South Africa 3,673,203

    The definition of native speakers does not include a minimum TOEFL test results I guess....

    Hopefully you are not from India :) . I guess you shouldn't be from India, or you would at least know that there isn't such a language called Indian.
