THE PEOPLE OF BRITAIN

The United Kingdom or Britain is a sovereign state in Western Europe, located off north-western coast of Europe. It is a state consisting of four countries known as England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. The population is around 62 million and the currency is the pound strolling. The official language of the people is English, however, there are other sub-languages such as Irish mostly spoken in Ireland, Welsh mostly spoken in Wales, Ulster Scots, Scots and Scottish Gaelic, a Celtic langue native to Scotland and Cornish which is a Brythonic Celtic language spoken in the region of Cornwall. Each country has its own symbol, flag, customs and history. For instance, Highland dress is a traditional dress worn by the Scottish, widely used during celebrations to commemorate their ancestors. In the north of Scotland, the Gaelic language is still spoken. Further more, Scotland has its own flag, symbol and saint. There is a border between each country but without guard or customs, therefore, a passport is not needed to travel from one country to another. In the United Kingdom, there are between 8% to 10% immigrants. Net immigration quadrupled to 237,000 a year between 1997 and 2007. In 2009, it was 196,000. 3 million immigrants have arrived since 1997.
