 |{{flag|Bangladesh}}&lt;ref&gt;&quot;[T]eaching of English continued in primary,secondary and tertiary level not because it was the official language but it became thelanguage of trade and commerce. Over the years, the prominence of English continued to rise. … English language is dominantly present in every side of our national life while on the other hand in our constitution it is clearly declared that the language of the country is Bengali. In fact, nothing is said about the status of English language in our constitution. On one hand, economic activities in the private companies are carried out in English while there is a government law (Bengali procholon ain1987) that government offices must use Bengali in their official works. So from the government point of view Bengali is the national-official language of Bangladesh and English is the most important foreign language. But in reality English is the second language of the country and in many places English is more important than Bengali in Bangladesh.&quot; http://www.scribd.com/doc/53272796/Sucess-of-English-language-in-Bangladesh-rec&lt;/ref&gt;

 | {{flag|Malaysia}}&lt;ref&gt;&quot;English remains an active second language, and serves as the medium of instruction for maths and sciences in all public schools. Malaysian English, also known as Malaysian Standard English, is a form of English derived from British English. Malaysian English is widely used in business, along with Manglish, which is a colloquial form of English with heavy Malay, Chinese, and Tamil influences. The government discourages the misuse of Malay and has instituted fines for public signs that mix Malay and English.&quot; {{cite web |url=https://www.malaysia.gov.my/en/about-malaysia?subCatId=3208956&amp;type=2&amp;categoryId=3208945 |title=About Malaysia:Language |website=My Government: The Government of Malaysia's Official Portal |accessdate=30 March 2014 |archive-date=9 நவம்பர் 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109071044/https://www.malaysia.gov.my/en/about-malaysia?subCatId=3208956&amp;type=2&amp;categoryId=3208945 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref&gt;
