The people of Britain

Do you konw how many nations of Britain? Absolutely, there are four nations of Britain. Wales, England, Scotland and North Ireland. Even there are a different number of nations, Walsh, English, Scottish and Irish. We can call they all of "British". On the other hand, any British people might be offended so we use this word to describe them. Such as, in Chinese used 'Yang Gui Zi'. Because of hundred years ago, the war was happened in Qing royal court. So the Chinese call they and European 'Yang Gui Zi'.

In addition, the four nations has different national symbols. The flag, plant, colour, patron saint and Saint's day are all different. Such as, England's flag is St George's Cross; Wales's flag is Dragon of Cadwallader; Scotland's flag is St Andrew's Cross; and Ireland's flag is St Patrick's Cross.The Salnt's days are 23 April; 1March; 30 November; 17 March.

How many 'British' languages exist, and how many people speak them? check here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language. More information here.

In the end, a complicated division of loyalties among many people in Britain, and especially in England. It is the third most natively spoken language in the world.Regions of the world who emigrated to the UK. Like Chinese, European, Indian, Pakistani. They are living here to business; finding a job of life. They are also integrated to the UK and Part of the UK.

  1. Hi Frank,

    A very good blog, informative and in most parts well written. However, I want you to provide the information, in your OWN words - I do not want a website telling me to 'check' the answers. Also, please do not 'copy and paste' from the internet (last part of your blog), I want you to use your own words (and where relevant, supply the website name that you have taken the information from). This is to avoid 'plagiarism'!

    Thank you and keep up the good work. I think you are doing really well.
    Charlie
