Anglogaea

/ˌæŋɡloʊˈdʒiːə/ noun

Definition

A scientific or geographic term referring to the English-speaking world or Anglo-speaking regions collectively as a biological or cultural region.

Etymology

From 'Anglo-' (English) plus '-gaea' (from Greek 'gaia,' meaning earth), a neoclassical coinage modeled on biological terms like 'Laurasia' or 'Gondwana.'

Kelly Says

Biologists divide Earth into regions like 'Nearctica' and 'Palearctica,' so someone created 'Anglogaea' to describe the English-speaking world as a unified cultural-linguistic zone!
