The terms the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England recover distinct geopolitical entities and are thus not synonymous.
Indeed, the term of the United Kingdom (Engl. United Kingdom) indicates the whole of the territories of the country (see chart 1), whereas Great Britain includes/understands the three historical provinces of the island of Great Britain which are England (England), Wales (Wales) and Scotland (Scotland)
England and Wales are joined together since 1542 and England and Scotland, since 1707. As from 1801, date of the union of Great Britain and Ireland, the kingdom was officially called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland)

Wales: 20.779 km ²), of Scotland (Engl. Scotland: 78.133 km ²) and of Northern Ireland (Engl. Northern Ireland or Ulster: 13.576 km ²), for an total surface area of 244.820 km ².
The political system rests on a parliamentary monarchy
First world power only a few decades ago, England preserves of its colonial past some ancient curios collected at the four corners of the Empire.
And a crown whose Tabloïds sing excesses on the comic mode. No the lamentation in the British spirit, but rather a autodérision vis-a-vis a history which does not sound like any other

England as the USA have just undergone a mini crisis financiére in the real loans:
Great Britain is touched of full whip by the crisis of the subprimes. Friday, of the savers made the tail in front of the seat of the 8th British bank, Northern Rock, in Newcastle, to withdraw their economies.
This specialized establishment in the real estate was indeed in impossibility of borrowing money near other banks.
It should be also known that for the United States, it there forever have of fall of the real estate since 1945.
That wants to say, that those which sold this loan “subprime” thought that in the worst case, if the customer could not refund his monthly payments any more, it could always resell with an appreciation.
Unfortunately, the conjunction of the increase in interest rates (19%) and the fall of the real estate put in bankruptcy the customers, then the banks themselves, the last figures announce for the moment 3 million American ruined and expelled by this credit.
What the crisis of the subprimes? | subprime mortgage |
The American crisis of the subprimes is the consequence of two events: a rise of the rates which made refunding too difficult for many households and a reversal of the real estate market which decreased the value of their real estate. Blow, even the sale of the house or apartment is not enough any more to refund the credit.
The organizations lenders of which a too significant number customers are in this case risk the bankruptcy. It is the first stage of the crisis, summer 2007.

 The United Kingdom does not have a constitution itself, which means that English does not have constitutional recognition. The English right is of jurisprudential origin, without coding.
However, the legal texts referring to the language have been comparatively numerous for one decade:
- the Law on the Welsh courts (Welsh Act Courts) of 1942
- the Law on the Welsh language (Welsh Language Act) of 1967 and 1993
- the Law on the education (Act Education) of 1996
- the Law on the British nationality (British Nationality Act) of 1981
- the law of 1984 on the regulation of the road signs (Road Traffic Act Regulations)
- the Law on the local authorities of Scotland (Room Government Scotland Act) of 1997
- the law on the administration of Wales (Government of Wales Act) of 1998
- the agreement of Belfast (Belfast Agreement) of 1998
- the Law on Northern Ireland (Northhern Ireland Act) of 1998
- the Law on nationality, the immigration and the right of asylum of 2002
- the Payments No 2785 on British nationality (2005)
As one can note it, the linguistic laws do not seem much to relate to the English language, which testifies owing to the fact that this language hardly does not need protection.
However, as the United Kingdom is multinational, the ethnic minorities, they, need the help of the State.
English, spoken by 94% about the population, constitutes the majority language of the Kingdom. Other British citizens speak nevertheless “minority national languages”: in Wales, certain speakers speak also Welsh, in Scotland, it can be the Scot (Gaelic), in Northern Ireland, Irish, in the Channel Islands, Jersey and guernesiais it.
There exist also languages considered as extinct the mannois (Gaelic) of the island of Man and the cornique one (extinct in 1777) in Cornouailles. It would be necessary to also mention the many immigrant languages spoken with the country.
However, English spoken in the United Kingdom is not uniform on the territory. Several varieties are distinguished: English of the south of England, English of the north of England, English of Wales, English of Scotland and English of Northern Ireland.
These varieties all are mutually understandable, but they are characterized by the accent, part of the grammatical vocabulary and some particularisms.
