English is the main language spoken in the British Isles, including Ireland. There are few people who do not speak it as their first language, in fact, over 95% of the British population are monolingual English speakers, In_Wales, only about 21% of the population speak Welsh (a Celtic* language) as their first language, though nearly all of them also speak perfect English. The study of Welsh is now compulsory in many primary and secondary schools. Television and radio services in Wales give about half their time to Welsh language programmes. Most public signs are in Welsh as well as in English. In Scotland about 2% of the population speak Gaelic, another Celtic language. Scots is spoken by 30% of the Scottish population. In Northern Ireland about 5% of the population speak Irish Gaelic. There are also large numbers of community languages, brought into the UK by immigrant communities, which account for more than 5% of the population. Community languages include Bengali, Polish, Greek, Arabic, Portuguese, German, Hebrew, Korean, Italian and others. Many immigrants are bilingual. Many Indians, for example, speak both Hindi and English; many Chinese speak both Chinese and English. Many Turks speak English and Turkish. There are a number of different regional accents in the UK. Some people in London speak “Cockney", in Birmingham "Brum", in Newcastle “Geordie". There is also Standard English, which belongs to no particular region. It is the variety of English that is usually taught to foreigners.​
