The people



population
england is the largest political and geographic division of the united kingdom which also includes wales, scotland, and northern ireland. about four-fifths of the uks population lives in england. since the end of world war ii, there has been large-scale immigration, with people arriving from the uks former territories in the west indies, africa, india, pakistan, and other parts of asia. these people now account for nearly 3 per cent of the population. england has been fairly successful in assimilating its ethnic communities, but racial tensions remain a problem in some areas, particularly in inner-city districts with a relatively high proportion of immigrants.




language
english is the official language of the uk. there are considerable variations in regional accents throughout england. the influx of immigrants has also meant that many other languages are spoken among these communities.
