Africa The term
Anglo-African has been used historically to
self-identify by people of mixed
British and African ancestry born in the
United States and in
Africa.
The Anglo-African and
The Weekly Anglo-African were the names of newspapers published by
African American abolitionist Robert Hamilton (1819–1870) in
New York during the
American Civil War era.
The Anglo-African was also the name of a newspaper published in
Lagos (now part of
Nigeria) from 1863 to 1865. It was founded and edited by Robert Campbell (1829–1884), a
Jamaican born son of a
Scottish father and
Mulatto mother. The term has also been used historically to describe people living in the
British Empire in Africa. ''The Anglo-African Who's Who and Biographical Sketch-Book'' published in
London in 1905 includes details of prominent
British and
Afrikaner people in Africa at that time.
Australia In Australia,
Anglo is used as part of the terms
Anglo-Australian and
Anglo-Celtic, which refer to the majority of Australians, who are of English, Scottish,
Welsh and Irish descent.
Canada In
Canada, and especially in
Canadian French,
Anglophone is widely used to designate someone whose
mother tongue is English, as opposed to
Francophone, which describes someone whose mother tongue is French, and to
Allophone, which describes someone whose mother tongue is a language other than English or French.
Anglo-Métis is also sometimes used to refer to an ethnic group.
Israel Jewish immigrants making
Aliyah to the
State of Israel are sometimes referred to as
Anglos.
Scotland In
Scotland, and in related cultures, the term
Anglo-Scot, sometimes shortened to
Anglo or Anglos, is used to refer to people with some permutation of mixed Scottish-English ancestry, association and/or birth; such as English people of Scottish descent, Scottish people of English descent, or heavily
Anglicised members of the
Scottish nobility who are indistinguishable from English members of the
British upper class and speak with a
Received Pronunciation, or other elite Southern accent. A great number of Anglo-Scots have made their mark in the fields of sport, politics, law, diplomacy, the
Military history of the United Kingdom, medicine, engineering, technical invention,
maritime history, geographical exploration, journalism and on the stage and screen. The London-born writer
Ian Fleming being one such example of this mixed ancestry. His
James Bond character is the preeminent fictional example of the
Anglo-Scot. The term
Anglo-Scot is often used to describe Scottish sports players who are based in England or playing for English teams, or vice versa. This is especially so in football, notably in
Rugby union, where the
Anglo Scots were a Scottish non-native select provincial District side that competed in the
Scottish Inter-District Championship.
United States In many parts of the United States, especially those with high Latino populations, the term "Anglo" is applied to white Americans who are not of
Latino origin. "Anglo" is short for "Anglo American", is used as a synonym for
non-Latino whites; that is
European Americans, most of whom speak the English language, even those who are not necessarily of English or British descent. == Countries with significant populations ==
