England is the largest country in Great Britain and the UK. It is sometimes, wrongly, used in reference to the whole United Kingdom, the entire island of Great Britain, or indeed the British Isles. This is not only incorrect but can cause offence to people from other parts of the UK.Nearly 84% of the population of the UK lives in England, mainly in the major cities and metropolitan areas.

         

The name Wales comes from the Cymraeg word Gwalia, meaning in English "Homeland". It later became Latinized as Walia, then by the Normans to something like Wal~es....then Wales.

Whereas Gaelic is the language of the Highlands & Islands, Scots is the language of the Lowlands.
