What do you call a person who speaks English?

There isn't a single, universally accepted term for someone who speaks English. Here's why and some options:

* "English speaker" is the most straightforward and widely understood term.

* "Native English speaker" refers to someone who learned English as their first language.

* "Non-native English speaker" refers to someone who learned English as a second language.

* "Anglophone" is a term used to describe someone who speaks English as their primary language, particularly in a specific region or country.

The best term to use depends on the context and what you want to emphasize.

It's important to avoid using terms that might be considered offensive or discriminatory.
