So logically they should all be speaking English


No. Briatnh never forced Enmgish down other countries throats

Tell that to the Indians.

That will be why they all speak Hindi then



Wasn't English imposed as the administrative language during the British

regional dialects?

Administrative language possibly: not as the common everyday langauge.

Britain had the same relationship with Latin. It was the language of Law
and medicine and science for a long time
