Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Maldives ..

Perhaps we can conclude that all former British territories seem to have a very high working understanding of English as the modicum of communication.

Faisal Qureshi disagrees with this list. Pakistan speaks English with such an accent that it can leave Angraiz behind.

The 1973 Constitution has declared Urdu as the national language of Pakistan. However English has been retained as the official language for 15 years

Personally if prefer English over Urdu... To 92% Urdu is as foreign to us as English...

In balochi .. Brother = braat (different pronounciation)...

In Pashto = Wrora

In Punjabi = veer

In seriki = bhirra

Sindhi = bhau

Dari = Agha

The 1973 Constitution has declared Urdu as the national language of Pakistan. However English has been retained as the official language for 15 years
That time limit expired.way back though

As I said it's a "de facto" language.. N the link works fine for me.

Bangladesh,Sri Lanka,Maldives

Most Sri Lankans are either bi lingual or tri lingual.. Short sighted government language policies in the 50's have dragged the island back in terms of English proficiency and the strategic edge it could have provided as the lingua franca of the 21st century.. Something that is well being used to advantage by counties like India, Singapore, Malaysia and Philippines

Some of my erstwhile compatriots may disagree with that @Saradiel , But i believe ones mother tongue would survive irrespective of the influence of global languages like English.. As Sinhala and Tamil have survived and adopted throughout the millenia

As far as proficiency goes in Asia, Philippines top it.. Both in vernacular and grammar.. Indian English apart from a minute minority of speakers are difficult to understand, Through they may have the largest English speaking population in the world
