Hello Mongolia and thank you for your question.

I have a list of fourty six countries where English is an official
language or is predominantly spoken.  (I think the keyword here is
"predominantly")
It is just a list of countries and there are no more details (ie. what
percentage speak English)  Would this list suit your needs?

Very best regards

Dear Thx1138-ga

 With respect to Neilzero's comment , I accept that there is a high
level of subjectivity about my question especially regarding the exact
meaning of
 the word 'fluent'. However if i define fluent as someone who can
speak and express those things which matter to him or her in English
and be reasonably understood by another English speaker then I will
consider them 'Fluent'

 If more than 50 % of the Indian population can do this then it India 
should be considered in your list. If not it should not.

 I am of course only interested in their English ability. Their
knowledge of other subjests such as science, maths, Quantum
Mechanics,tensor algebera or sansript for example is totally
irrevelent to my question.

  Hope this helps
