Each one had its own separate sense of identity, its own

history, even its own language. There was no such word as British. People were simply either English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish.

Слайд 10

The United Kingdom was formed in 1801 when the Irish parliament

was joined with the parliament for England, Wales and Scotland in London, and the whole of the British Isles became a single state. However, in 1922 the south of Ireland became the Irish Free State and, in 1949, a completely independent republic.

Слайд 14

What are the national identities of the people living in Great

Britain?

Although everyone in the UK has a British citizenship, they have different nationalities.
British citizens, do not regard themselves as British and prefer to state their national identity as English, Scottish or Welsh.
This is because different groups of people tend to develop their own customs and way of life.

Слайд 15

What is the official language of the UK?
English is the official

language of the UK and the first language of the vast majority of the population. The English language is a West Germanic language, originating from England. People in Wales speak a completely different language. About 25% of the people there still speak in their native Celtic tongue called Welsh. In some regions of Scotland, Gaelic is used as a first language (particularly in the Highlands and the Western Isles). Although Wales and Scotland have their own languages, English is spoken in both countries more.
