South Africa and Ireland.

New Zealand and India (assuming we call India English speaking)

Jamaica and Australia.

*******

One group of English speaking countries -
UK, US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand

all have an interconnected ruling class, mostly related to the Norman Invasion, and most of the population (or a large fraction for the US) has a common ancestry in the UK.

There is an extensive exchange of "cultural" products -
Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Lord of the Rings, Monty Python, Dumb and Dumber, etc.
and students who study at other English speaking Universities.
Throw in ex-pats who find it easy to work in a country with similar laws and customs (except which side of the road to drive on).

This may create the appearance that language alone is a strong bond than really is.
