This article is about group of English-speaking nations with close political and military ties and their sphere of influence. For usage of English worldwide, see English-speaking world.
The Anglosphere, according to James Bennett (The Anglosphere Challenge)[1]
Core Anglosphere
Middle Anglosphere (states where English is one of several official languages, but not necessarily widely spoken by the native population)
Outer sphere (English-using states of other civilisations)
Periphery (states where English is widely used but is not an official governmental language)
The Anglosphere is the Anglo-American sphere of influence, with a core group of nations that today maintain close political, diplomatic and military co-operation. While the nations included in different sources vary, the Anglosphere is usually not considered to include all countries where English is an official language, so it is not synonymous with the sphere of anglophones, though commonly included nations are those that were formerly part of the British Empire and retained the English language and English Common Law.
The five core countries of the Anglosphere are usually taken to be Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries enjoy close cultural and diplomatic links with one another and are aligned under military and security programmes (Five Eyes).
