According to the latest statistics, the population of Britain is 6510.3 million, and one third of them live in the southeast of England. Among them, English accounts for 83.9%; Scots account for 8.4%; Others are Welsh (4.8%) and Northern Irish (2.9%).

Britain has no official language in name, but in fact English is the main language. There are other official languages besides England, such as Welsh (spoken by 26% of the Welsh population) and Scottish Gaelic (spoken by 60,000 people).

The ancestors of Scotland and Northern Ireland are Celts. They speak an ancient language from Celtic civilization, which is still the official language of Scotland. In 843 AD, a king of Scotland completed the great cause of unifying all the tribes in Scotland and established a real kingdom of Scotland. At that time, the Anglo-Saxons were still in the south of Britain. [ 1]

Most English people are Anglo-Saxons. The word "England" is a homonym of "the land of Angles", which means the land of angels, and English means the language of Angles. [2]

Anglo-Saxon is a branch of ancient Germanic tribes, which originally lived in Northern Europe, jutland, Danish Islands and the northwest coast of Germany.

From the 5th century to the 6th century, people from the Anglo-Saxon tribes migrated southward to the North Sea and immigrated to the island of Great Britain. It was only in the following three or four hundred years that the two tribes merged into Anglo-Saxons.

Through conquest and assimilation, the Anglo-Saxons and the "aborigines" (Celts) of Great Britain, together with the "Danes" and "Normans" who immigrated later, formed the modern English (including Scots) after a long period of integration.
