What are the people living in England called?

Answer 1

English or British. Britain refers to the group of countries known as England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland so while either word is correct saying "English" pinpoints their origins more exactly.

Answer 2

They are British.

However, some people prefer to be named after the particular country in the UK that they are from. This would be:

• People who are from Scotland - Scottish
• People who are from England - English
• People who are from Wales - Welsh

With people who are from Northern Ireland, it is more complex because of the political differences in the community. Some say they are "British", some say "Irish" and some say "Northern Irish".

Answer 3

English or British would be the right term.
