The language spoken in Britain is just called "English".
Some people ignorant of this fact also call it British English.
There are several regional dialects spoken in the United Kingdom as well as several foreign and ancient languages but only one English language.
Examples of popular non English languages spoken in the UK are:
Polish, Hindi, or Urdu but this is far from a complete list as the UK has communities representing many of the far Eastern and Indian subcontinental countries as well as large numbers of residents from eastern Europe and Africa.
Various forms of Celtic are spoken in different regions of the UK and for some it is their first language.
Most regions have their own regional dialects some of which can be very difficult to understand to even those who live in the UK. Most major cities have strong and distinct accents and colloquialisms with some even having clear and obvious differences within the cities (east and south London for example).
Some regional accents have superficial similarities (such as Wiltshire, Somerset and Cornish) but the differences between them become stark and obvious when listened to together.
Some people press for a distinction to be made between English and Scottish English but there isn't a uniformity to the Scottish accents that would make this possible and the major cities all have very different colloquialisms.
In recent years there has been a decline in strong regional accents across the UK with a neutral or "Estuarine English" (a neutralised Essex accent) becoming more dominant, especially on television.
