Page "Anglo-Saxons" Paragraph 11

Outside Anglophone countries, both in Europe and in the rest of the world, the term " Anglo-Saxon " and its direct translations are used to refer to the Anglophone peoples and societies of Britain, the United States, and other countries such as Australia, Canada and New Zealand – areas which are sometimes referred to as the Anglosphere.

The term " Anglo-Saxon " can be used in a variety of contexts, often to identify the English-speaking world's distinctive language, culture, technology, wealth, markets, economy, and legal systems.

Variations include the German " Angelsachsen ", French " Anglo-Saxon ", Spanish " anglosajón ", Portuguese " anglo-saxão ", Polish " anglo-saksoński ", Italian " anglosassone ", Catalan " anglosaxó ", Japanese " Angurosakuson " and Ukrainian " aнглосакси " ( anhlosaksy ).

As with the English language use of the term, what constitutes the " Anglo-Saxon " varies from speaker to speaker.
