The UK is made up of many counties. It is a bit like the UAE being made of different emirates. In the old days, there were many Sheikhdoms in the UK - such as Wessex, Northumbria etc. There was a powerful Sheikh who united all the counties into a federation, but the smaller English Sheikhs even today still have a Majlis in London which they call the House of Lords....

Not the Scots that post on here.....

Beardman will be on google all day at this rate

Antrim
Armagh
Down
Fermanagh
Londonderry (or Derry)
Tyrone

... what a cunning plan!!!

were all these smaller counties speaking the same language or were there different languages ??

he probably has a special version of it though.
BeardyGoogle search " 6 Counties"

result

"Allah says........."

you mean some scotish want to be a way from UK??

why would they want that?

when all industries are in england, most factories and heavy industry that was in scotland was not successfull (i read that just while ago in an arabic article)

not all day i have limited time at work and i will be leaving after one hour




i thought the names will be similar to what i know ... it seems that all of them are different !!

anyhow i know now that UK is a union of 6 counties

The main original language of the British people was Celtic, also called Gaelic or Gallic. The language changed when invading tribes from Italy, Scandanavia, France, Germany conquered various parts of the UK....

there must be a mistake

in this link it is giving me the counties of Ireland as you guys told me
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_Ireland

but i was looking for the counties of whole UK

Have you not heard of Derry? or Armagh?

The union of the 6 counties is Northern Ireland.

Google counties of UK then!

so is this form of language now a mixture of so many other languages ??


to be honest ..i feel if there were more than one language in one country it is going to put barriers between people.

it is better to have one language only

you are not very good at google!

those are the six counties of Ulster which make up Northern Ireland (The bit thats still in the UK) I think there are 3 more counties which are part of the Republic of Ireland.


The UK is mainly comprised of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

there are also semi-independent islands off the mainland such as the Isle of man, Jersey, Guernsy, Sark, and Alderney which also come under the UK.

Then there are overseas territories such as Bermuda, St Helna, Diego Garcia etc which are also still part of the UK.
