* No official census: The UK Census doesn't collect data specifically on how many people speak English, it focuses on language spoken at home.
* Various definitions of "English": What constitutes speaking "English"? Does it include regional dialects, or only standard English? What about people who are fluent but have another language as their primary language?
* Dynamic population: The number of people living in England is constantly changing, so any figure would be outdated quickly.
However, we can make some educated guesses:
* Vast majority: The vast majority of people living in England are native English speakers.
* Other languages spoken: There are significant communities who speak other languages in England, including Polish, Urdu, Bengali, and French.
It's safe to assume that the vast majority of people living in England are able to communicate in English.
