The highlighted countries have English as an official language.

20:14 <NevDull> Something about speaking English

Next month, I'll try to select something a bit different.

Actually, as I recall, the US has no official language (although the predominant language is English). Wikipedia mentions this.

Now that I think of it, omitting the US from the map for that reason would have made the map somewhat more interesting! It might have looked more like a Former British Colonies map, but not exactly.
