   British people, also known as Britons, are the citizens or natives of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, British Overseas Territories, and Crown Dependencies. The term also includes their descendants and immigrants from these territories. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality.

Each of these regions has distinct cultures, accents, and languages, contributing to the diverse nature of British people. The official language of the British people is English, although other languages such as Welsh, Scots, Scottish Gaelic, and Irish are also spoken.

1. British people

   British people are citizens or natives of the United Kingdom, Crown Dependencies, British Overseas Territories, and their descendants. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. When used in a historical context, British people refers to the ancient Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain south of the Forth. Although early assertions of being British date from the Late Middle Ages, the creation of the unified Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 triggered a sense of British national identity. The notion of Britishness was forged during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and the First French Empire, and developed further during the Victorian era. The complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom created a "particular sense of nationhood and belonging" in Great Britain; Britishness became "superimposed on much older identities", of English, Scots and Welsh cultures, whose distinctiveness still resist notions of a homogenised British identity. Because of longstanding ethno-sectarian divisions, British identity in Northern Ireland is controversial, but it is held with strong conviction by unionists.

Examples of british people in a Sentence

1. Geert Wilders:

   I congratulate the British people for beating the political elite in both London and Brussels and I think we can do the same, the Dutch would like to be in charge again of their own budget, their national borders and their immigration policy.

2. Royalty TV Nick Bullen:

   His cousins don’t have police protection and they travel with ease, so people do struggle to understand where the security threat sits. And to be blunt, why should Harry have police protection paid for by the British people when he’s going to be in places that are heavily protected by police anyway?

3. Arron Banks:

   The referendum will be a campaign of the British people against the establishment of international bankers, multinational corporate tax dodgers and out-of-touch politicians.

4. Theresa May:

   If the proposal were to go back to square one and negotiate a new deal, that would mean a much longer extension – almost certainly requiring the United Kingdom to participate in the European Parliament elections in May, the idea of the British people going to the polls to elect MEPs three years after voting to leave the EU hardly bears thinking about. There could be no more potent symbol of parliament's collective political failure.

5. Donald Tusk:

   I deeply believe that the United Kingdom needs Europe and Europe needs the United Kingdom, to break the link now would be totally against our mutual interest. We have done all we could not to let that happen. But the final decision is in the hands of the British people.
