Stop pretending it's a relevant language outside of populist patriotism.

Welsh, Highland Scottish and Irish people are genetically distinct from English people and historically they haven't spoken English. English only became the majority language in Ireland in the 1860s, for example.

Why all slavians countries not call Russia?

>>3050607
Nothing, the OP is just a retarded baiter. Just ignore him. Sage if you absolutely must reply.

Why don't we just call the whole world England? It's pretty much the same thing by this point, right?

>>3050511
God fucking retard
Some mod prune this already
Preschool tier stupidity

scotland and ireland are literally just provinces of england, I guess they are just so insecure that the king decided it's easier to let them live in their delusions lol

The UK is hundreds of years old, hardly a non-country. It is in fact only one country, albeit one made up from four (or five) nations.This is no different than America, one country made up of many states and several nations (Yankees vs Dixies vs Left Coasters vs Texicans vs niggers etc etc).

>>3050511
you missed out the part where it contains two sovereign states. Even if you were just referring to the UK you'd be fucking retarded though

>>3050629
>scotland and ireland are literally just provinces of england
>one independent state and two quasi-federal devolved governments

Not to mention the part where NI doesn't even have the same political parties as rUK because of a century of banter

>>3050629
>scotland and ireland are literally just provinces of england

Are you retarded or shitposting?

>>3050745
>>3050758
yeah lol whatever you say, ireland and scotland very independent very strong

The map isn't even correct, crown dependencies encapsulated within the Yellow line like the Isle of Man are not part of the UK

>>3050771
I wasn't saying they're independent, I was saying that 'literally just provinces of England' is the sort of retarded generalisation a 15 year old American would make in order to rationalise over a century of history within the confines of his tiny, underdeveloped mind

>>3050785
not independent... meaning you're just a province then
glad to agree with you friend

>>3050792

A province of the UK, NOT a province of England.

>>3050511
>Current year
>Still using the term British Isles

>>3050798
UK is a meme term for england

>>3050511
whoa man those potatoes and skirts are precisely why they ain't Englishmen

England was a province of germany and even the english language is made up of about 30 per cent german! Also the royal family is german. So maybe England should just call itself germany

When the Angles and the Saxons arrived there was no 'Germany'

>>3050771
Ireland is literally a seperate country you tit. It's as seperate as France is from Germany, or Canada from the USA.

>>3050956
>England was a province of germany
... when?

>>3050774

While you are technically and pedantically correct, the point of the map is clearly to quickly sketch the distinctions among the /major/ and /relevant/ political and physical geographical entities. Clearly, the Isle of Man is not such a relevant political entity.

Also Guernsey and Jersey aren't even depicted, and so are certainly not inside the yellow line in any event.

>>3051341
true

>>3051341
Those are both actually true. Not sure what you're trying to imply here. Not even the guy you're responding to. If they're actually countries within the nation of the UK, then you did a bad job conveying that and need to get better at

>>3051722
*if you meant that they're both countries
Oops

I was about to write something like this but you got to it.

Confusing matters further, the above kid suggests that scotland and "ireland" are provinces of "england", itself false. But once you get your terms straight, it is quite right to compare scotland and northern ireland, say, with California and Hong Kong in the sense that all of these are first-order administrative divisions of their respective states. And no, it doesn't matter about the exact style of each one - becuase each country is a special snowflake,and will style its bits just a bit different, for the sake of being different, of being themselves. But the morphology is the same: partition the country of the State into several different regions.

It is not even an excuse to instead appeal to the counties of England ceremonial counties etc, because the UK is an exceptionally goofy, squishy and autistic state where these things (political entities) are really fucking weird, on purpose.

What OP means is that the scots, welsh and irish got cucked sobhard that they aren't that different from england and lets be honest england is the center of the union and totally dominates the others.
Unfortunately the majority of most of these 'nations' don't even speak their own language as their mother tongue.
I mean everybody speaks english in this day and age but thats as a secod language.

>>3051764
Agreed on all counts, but I would like to point out that historically England did have dominion over both Ireland and Scotland and in a certain political sense (excluding the Republic of Ireland obviously) they still do. That is to say that England has the most control of the voting and therefore some level of political control over the others (excluding certain referendums). I think of that scene from trainspotting where the guy says they're ruled by wankers. There's still a small sense of subservience to England in the back of everyone's mind even if it isn't codified into the government.
So maybe it isn't entirely wrong to say they're provinces of England, but the odds are that that Anon knew none of that and was just being retarded.
