Just for fun though, if we were to make a list of all the cities in which English is an official language, it'd go something like this:
1. New Delhi
2. Manila
3. Mumbai
4. New York
5. Lagos
6. Los Angeles
7. Karachi
8. Kolkata
9. London
10. Lahore
11. Johannesburg
(based on estimates of urban area populations from here: https://forum.skyscraperpage.com/sho...=236455&page=3) |
Would Hong Kong make that list? English is one of two official languages, and while it is not the most commonly spoken language in the city (Cantonese), according to Wikipedia a majority of 53.2% can and do speak English.
