6. Singapore

Many Asian countries officially speak English. Singapore is one of them. Besides English, the other official languages are Mandarin, Tamil, and Malay, with the latter being the national language. This city-state consists of one main island (the Singapore Island) and 60 other small islets located at the southern side of the Malay Peninsula. Over the past few decades, Singapore has experienced great economic growth, which allowed it to develop rapidly and become the most advanced economy in Southeast Asia. Besides, the country has also been able to attract the interest of millions of tourists each year. The island resorts, historical and cultural landmarks, and nature sight-seeing are the three main points of interest. [ads shortcode=”td_responsive”]

7. India

The second-most populous country in the world (only behind China), with an extensive history and tremendous cultural richness. The country has a linguistic diversity almost as great as Nigeria, with 447 native languages. However, Hindi and English are the only official ones. English is widely spoken in big urban centers like New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, but not so much in rural areas. Keep that in mind if India is in your plans for a future visit in the near future. It should be noted that a great part of India lived under the rule of the British Empire for many years as it was one of its most valuable territorial assets.
