    Scots is just considered a dialect of English. Irish, Welsh & Gaelic is near anonymous.

    I lived in Epsom when I was younger. I'd guess it would be mostly Tamil there as well. From what people tell me, it's turned into a real s-hole since I lived there.

    Scots or Scots Gaelic? The latter has only about 60,000 speakers worldwide and the former is an English dialect.

    It's very interesting.
    Also, the English language itself is constantly evolving with the times and continously changing planet, and for a small island, there's many more English speakers (1.5 billion speakers of English, either as a first or second language worldwide) than the amount of English speakers in the British Isles (over 6000 British Isles, plus we still try to preserve the various Celtic languages too).
    Today, there's officially over 300 languages spoken in London, and Polish is now officially the second most spoken language in the UK, due to the amount of Polish settlers that have arrived.
    In my original homeland of the West County of England, some of the Celtic languages there recently died, (such as Devonian), but Cornish is still preserved.
    London is an Alpha++ city and officially the most multi-cultural and multi-racial city on the planet. 40% of the people now living in London are British (Scottish, Welsh, NI and English... of various races) and the city of Birmingham is going the same way.
    I hear so many different languages being spoken in London on a daily basis, but English remains the official language, and English currently remains the official international language of aviation, business, computer programming, science, engineering, technology, the internet and diplomacy. It has the widest vocabulary of any known language. It's the main lingua-franca in global travel and it's the lingua-franca between the 22 languages spoken in India too (a nation of over 1.2 billion people and the worlds 3rd largest English language book producers. They also help to keep English as a major global language over Chinese Mandarin). Foreign people living in London tend to be bi or mono-lingual; they speak a different language with their relatives and they speak English in places of business, transport, hospitals, schools, etc. I made videos about the importance of the English language spoken across the Anglo-Celtic sphere nations of the world and spoken in many other countries too as a legacy from the British Empire days, the evolution and origins of the English language, and also the Celtic languages on YT, but I found these videos made by someone else there to show that Polish is now officially the 2nd language of Britain.
