India and South Africa use the so-called Type D plug[0] (also called Type M in its 15A incarnation), which is similar but uses round plugs (type D is actually an older english standard). Some other south-east asian countries also use Type D. The english plug is called "Type G" and used in a number of former colonies and protectorates[1], especially in Africa and the Middle East.

- confuzatron 16y agoSince you're calling it the English plug, I should mention that they also use it in Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland.
