The People of Britain

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are the 4 nations that form Great Britain. Great Britain is also known as the United Kingdom. The people of the UK are generally called Britishers or English people in my country. I do not think any of the British people would be offended by the use of these words because after all they are from Britain.

There are some differences in the people of the 4 nations of the UK like language or the way they speak in English, traditions and cultures. These 4 nations have their own flags but, the UK also has a flag to represent all the 4 nations together. This flag is known as the Union Flag.

The 4 nations have their own national days to celebrate. These days are declared as public holidays. The national days of the 4 nations are as follows (Time and Date, 2012):
England celebrates St. George's Day on the 23rd of April every year.
Wales celebrates St. David's Day on the 1st of March every year.
Scotland celebrates St. Andrew's Day on the 30th of November every year.
Northern Ireland celebrates St. Patrick's Day on the 17th of March every year.

There are many different languages spoken in Britain like English, Welsh, Scots and Irish. English is the most spoken language in the UK. Welsh, Scots and Irish are mostly spoken in their respective nations. There are many more languages spoken in the UK other than these 4 languages. These are spoken by immigrants or people who are not actually from the UK.
