Is there a word for centering the English language that is disconnected from England?

English Language & Usage Asked by Julia Stern on February 22, 2021

I am looking to describe the centering of the English language (in a US-based but global business culture). The company itself is based in California, and what I’m seeing is an intersection of US-centrism with eurocentrism, specifically Anglocentrism. But while "Anglocentrism" means "practice of viewing the world from English or Anglo-American perspective, with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of English or Anglo-American culture," it is referring to English as in England, not English as in the language English, wherever it is spoken (e.g. California).

TLDR: Is there a word to denote "practice of viewing the world from an English-speaking perspective, with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of the English language?"
