shakh your bootie

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....

Beard Man

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)

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....

Beard Man

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

Miss Eck

Have you not heard of Derry? or Armagh?

The union of the 6 counties is Northern Ireland.

Miss Eck

Google counties of UK then!

Beard Man

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

Inselaffen

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.
