These categories formed the basis for all ethnicity statistics from the national statistics up to the publication of the 2011 census results Ethnic groups in the UK the United Kingdom is an ethnically diversified company. The largest ethnic group in the UK is the British white, followed by the Asian English.<br>Ethnia in the UK is formally registered at national level through a census. The 2011 UK census recorded a reduced percentage of white britishes in the UK compared to the previous 2001 UK census. The factors that are contributing to the growth of minority populations are of various nature, including different birth rates and different immigration<strong>.(RUSSO SOFIA)<br></strong>Britain's current population is sixty milion based on the latest United Nazion estimates. The british population is 0, 87 for sent of the total world countries. Population density is the U.K 281 people for km. The total area of the U.K is the  481.000 km(<strong>SAITTA</strong>)<br>London is one of the most fabulous cities in the world. Multiethnic cosmopolitan knows how to stand out for; its uses and customs; such that those who move to London cannot help but assimilate them; Londoners always walk to the right even in the movable stairs; and carry the backpack in front so as not to be robbed. Young people; many rent houses even without knowing each other or of different ethnic groups just to divide the costs. they lead a hectic life, from Monday to Friday, they run, they always run, on the weekend nothing and nobody can forbid them from their pint in the various pubs of the city. maltanto are their habits for example: The Sunday Roast: The Sunday place consumed in pubs, restaurants or at home, based on roast, potatoes, vegetables and traditional<br>Yorkshire Pudding served in a delightful room called gravy.

         <description><![CDATA[<blockquote><strong>Martello, Baiardi, Anello, Leonardo</strong></blockquote><div><br>English is an Indo-European language belonging to the western branch of the Germanic languages, along with Dutch, High and Low German and Frisian. It still retains an evident kinship with Continental Low German. Any country or territory where English is spoken as a native language is called English-speaking. It is the first most spoken language in the world by number of total speakers (native and foreign) and it is the third by number of total native speakers (the first is Chinese).ANELLO<br>The slang: nowhere is it more used than in Great Britain, where slang makes up a large part of the vocabulary and can vary greatly depending on where you are in the country. [BAIARDI]<br>There are variations in formal and written English in the UK. For example, the adjective "wee" (small) is used almost exclusively in parts of Scotland and Ireland, and occasionally in Yorkshire, while "little" is predominant elsewhere. However, there is a significant degree of uniformity in written English in the UK, and this could be described by the term "British English".<br>The forms of spoken English, however, vary considerably more than in most other areas of the world where English is spoken, so a uniform concept of British English is more difficult to apply to the spoken language.<br>When distinguished from American English, the term "British English" is sometimes used in a broad sense as a synonym for the various varieties of English spoken in some member states of the Commonwealth of Nations.[MARTELLO]<br>England, a part of the United Kingdom, is the birthplace of the English language, and the modern form of the language has been spreading around the world since the 17th century by the worldwide influence of the United Kingdom, and more recently, the United States. Through all types of printed and electronic media of these countries, English has become the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation and law.<br> The United Kingdom remains the largest English-speaking country in Europe.<br>India claims to have the world’s second-largest English-speaking population. The most reliable estimate is around 10% of its population (125 million people), second only to the United States, and is expected to quadruple in the following decade[LEONARDO]</div>]]></description>
