[2009-10-17-1]で，英語話者人口の内訳を ENL, ESL, EFL の三区分で見た．今日は，各区分の話者人口ではなく，各区分を体現する世界の地域の数に注目してみたい．
　以下の地域名リストは，主に ENL 人口を擁する地域を (1)，主に ESL 人口を擁する地域を (2)，主に EFL 人口を擁する地域を (3) として分類したものである．(1) については，事実上ライバル言語のない地域を (1a)，主要なライバル言語が一つあるいは二つ以上存在する地域を (2a) としてある．また，(3) については，英語を教育のなかで外国語として習得されているものの，社会における英語の使われ方が広まってきており，事実上 ESL 地域とみなしてもよい地域を (3a) として，それ以外の通常の EFL 地域を (3b) としてある．いずれも1998年出版の McArthur のリストに拠っているため，必ずしも最新の情報ではないことを断っておく．リストをこうして電子化しておけば再利用が可能かと思っての掲載．
