I've read somewhere that China had the largest population of English speakers or something? Obviously that'd be their second language and I don't know how legit that is
Spain ?Was thinking about how many countries are on two or more continents as I was reading up on French Guinea which is considered an overseas department (equivalent to a state or province) rather than an overseas territory, making it part of actual France. Whereas although Bermuda for example is an overseas territory of the UK, you wouldn’t say it is part of the UK. I’m pretty sure Reunion is the same deal which means France is technically in Europe, South America and Africa.
Anyway I think this is the list depending on your definition of where continents start and end:
France - Europe, South America, Africa - overseas departments
Turkey - Europe, Asia - either side of the Bosphorus Strait
Russia - Europe, Asia - either side of the Urals
Egypt - Africa, Asia - Sinai peninsula in Asia
Indonesia - Asia, Oceania - state of Irian Jaya is on New Guinea which is in Oceania
Panama - North America, South America - Panama Canal literally splits the two continents
There’s also a few countries where it’s debatable what continent they’re even in, mainly the blur between Europe and Asia, which really is just one continent. Cyprus is geopolitically European and every other major island in the Mediterranean is European but it’s location makes lean towards Asia. And then there’s obviously the Caucasian countries who are also European in a geopolitical sense but AFAIK they aren’t far west enough to be considered part of the European landmass.
Oh yeah, forgot about the Spanish possessions in Africa and the Azores for Portugal. I’d need to double check if they’re just overseas territories though, coz I know Gibraltar and the Falklands are.Spain ?
Portugal ?
