* United Kingdom: This includes England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
* Ireland: While Irish Gaelic is the official language, English is spoken by the vast majority of the population as their first language.
* Malta: Although Maltese is the official language, English is widely spoken as a first language, alongside Maltese.
While not a country, the Channel Islands (Jersey and Guernsey) are also considered to have English as a first language.
It's important to note that:
* English is also widely spoken as a second language in many other European countries. This is due to its importance in global communication, trade, and education.
* The "first language" designation can be complex. In some countries, English may be spoken by large communities, but not necessarily the majority.
For a broader understanding, you can look at the "English as a first language" maps available online, which provide a visual representation of where English is spoken as a primary language across the world.
