Eurobarometer report 2006 The Belgian population is divided in two distinct linguistic regions: The Belgian Dutch-speaking Flanders, and the Belgian French-speaking Wallonia (the region of Brussels also has a majority of native French speakers). Like in the Netherlands, a high percentage of Flemish people speak English fluently, and in Wallonia, a lower percentage of people speak English (as it is the case in France), which brings down the total percentage.

There were 4,993,923 responses to 2023 Census: Language spoken. 4,750,056 gave English as a response . Another 104,721 reported no language (e.g. too young). Hence it is most meaningful to express the English-speaking per cent without including the figures for these 104,721. This gives 97.2% English-speaking (3,673,679 divided by 3,755,565), 2.8% non-English-speaking. Figures for native speakers are those who declared English to be the only language they spoke, so they are very likely to be undercounts.

Figure for speakers of English as "main language", according to Federal Statistical Office 2020. Source for number of total English speakers is an FSO survey in 2019 on "the main languages in regular use", which reported that 48.8% of permanent residents aged 15 or above (7,187,688 as of 2020) regularly used English; as a result, total speakers and non-native speakers are likely to be undercounts due to the exclusion of children below the age of 15.

2020 Vanuatu Census. Data for total speakers were people aged 15+ who were literate in English, so the corresponding percentage was calculated through dividing the number by population aged 15+ (179,302). On the other hand, number of native speakers included anyone aged 3+, so the corresponding percentage is calculated by dividing it by total population aged 3 or above (239,839). It is impossible to precisely calculate number of non-native speakers as a result. Figures exclude Bislama.

RP2021. Figures for total speakers were those who spoke English at home / school / work, so it excludes the people who knew English but didn't actively use it. Percentage of native speakers was calculated from a denominator of total valid responses on that question (563,092). Number of non-native speakers, therefore, cannot be precisely calculated.

Eurobarometer report 2006 The Belgian population is divided in two distinct linguistic regions: The Belgian Dutch-speaking Flanders, and the Belgian French-speaking Wallonia (the region of Brussels also has a majority of native French speakers). Like in the Netherlands, a high percentage of Flemish people speak English fluently, and in Wallonia, a lower percentage of people speak English (as it is the case in France), which brings down the total percentage.

Central Statistics Office 2022 Census Figures for native speakers are people whose spoke English or Irish at home (which likely included the approximately 70,000 people who spoke Irish daily outside education system), and additional speakers are people who spoke other languages and declared that they spoke English "very well" or "well”.

There were 4,993,923 responses to 2023 Census: Language spoken. 4,750,056 gave English as a response . Another 104,721 reported no language (e.g. too young). Hence it is most meaningful to express the English-speaking per cent without including the figures for these 104,721. This gives 97.2% English-speaking (3,673,679 divided by 3,755,565), 2.8% non-English-speaking. Figures for native speakers are those who declared English to be the only language they spoke, so they are very likely to be undercounts.
