> Where you are, does English speaking generally mean Anglo-Saxon? That's not something that springs instantly to mind where I live. I think I may be slightly over 1/2 English, but I'm in the minority. Even our state law is based on the Napoleonic code rather than English common law.
>For what its worth I read Anglo Saxon in that post as referring to English speaking countries - specifically those that are English speaking due a heavy migration from England ie US, Canada, Australia. I'm not sure I agree with the assertion but I did read it as referring to a modern cluster of countries with some shared legal traditions.
