In 2014, we have 24 countries where English is an official language. ”The majority of countries where English is an official language are former territories of the British Empire. Notable exceptions include Rwanda and Eritrea, which were an Italian colony where the British Empire spanned its control only in World War II and shortly after (1941-1952)”. The population in the list is an approximate number from 2009 till now, it might be more. Some Countries in Africa use French and some Arabic and more.
