Here's why:
* Defining "English" is complex: Do we consider someone English if they were born in England, have English ancestry, or have English citizenship?
* Migration patterns: People of English descent have migrated around the world for centuries, making it difficult to track them.
* No official census: There is no global census that specifically tracks people based on their origin.
While we can't get an exact number, we can say that there are millions of people of English descent living outside of England, particularly in countries with historical ties to the British Empire like:
* The United States
* Canada
* Australia
* New Zealand
* South Africa
It's important to remember that nationality and ethnicity are complex and fluid concepts.
