anglophones
Primary English language users
Anglophones are people who speak English as their primary language.
The term appears most often in contexts where English speakers form a distinct group alongside speakers of other languages—particularly in Canada, where anglophone distinguishes English speakers from francophones: The city has both anglophone and francophone neighborhoods.
