Which form is correct in the compound adjective below:

1- English-speaking countries

2- English-spoken countries

I �m confused because the first can mean countries that speak English and the second countries where English is spoken

English-speakING countries.

The adjective is ACTIVE : the countries where people can speak English.

Whereas the 2nd adjective is PASSIVE and does not work properly here.
