The English are a nation and ethnic group native to England, who speak the English language. The English identity is of early mediaeval origin, when they were known in Old English as the ''Angelcynn'' ("family of the Angles"). England is one of the countries of the United Kingdom and English people in England are British citizens. Their ethnonym is derived from the Angles, one of the Germanic peoples who migrated to Great Britain around the 5th century AD.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )
Historically, the English population is descended from several peoples — the earlier Britons (or Brythons) and the Germanic tribes that settled in Britain following the withdrawal of the Romans, including Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians. Collectively known as the Anglo-Saxons, they founded what was to become England (from the Old English ''Englaland'') along with the later Danes, Normans and other groups. In the Acts of Union 1707, the Kingdom of England was succeeded by the Kingdom of Great Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=parliament.uk )〕 Over the years, English customs and identity have become fairly closely aligned with British customs and identity in general.
Today many English people have recent forebears from other parts of the United Kingdom, while some are also descended from more recent immigrants from other European countries and from the Commonwealth.
The English people are the source of the English language, the Westminster system, the common law system and numerous major sports such as football, rugby and tennis.〔(The fa 1863-2013. )〕 These and other English cultural characteristics have spread worldwide, in part as a result of the former British Empire.
==English nationality==
Although England has not for centuries been an independent nation state, but rather a constituent country within the United Kingdom, the English may still be regarded as a "nation" according to the ''Oxford English Dictionarys definition: a group united by factors that include "language, culture, history or occupation of the same territory".〔"Nation", sense 1. ''The Oxford English Dictionary'', 2nd edtn., 1989'.〕
The concept of an "English nation" is far older than that of the "British nation", and the 1990s witnessed a revival in English self-consciousness. This is linked to the expressions of national self-awareness of the other British nations of Wales and Scotland  – which take their most solid form in the new devolved political arrangements within the United Kingdom  – and the waning of a shared British national identity with the growing distance between the end of the British Empire and the present.〔(English nationalism 'threat to UK' ), BBC, Sunday, 9 January 2000〕〔(The English question Handle with care ), the Economist 1 November 2007〕
Many recent immigrants to England have assumed a solely British identity, while others have developed dual or mixed identities.〔"Ethnic minorities feel strong sense of identity with Britain, report reveals" Maxine Frith ''The Independent'' 8 January 2004. (); Hussain, Asifa and Millar, William Lockley (2006) ''Multicultural Nationalism'' Oxford University Press p149-150 (); "Asian recruits boost England fan army" by Dennis Campbell, ''The Guardian'' 18 June 2006. (); "National Identity and Community in England" (2006) ''Institute of Governance'' Briefing No.7. ()〕 Use of the word "English" to describe Britons from ethnic minorities in England is complicated by most non-white people in England identifying as British rather than English. In their 2004 Annual Population Survey, the Office for National Statistics compared the ''ethnic'' identities of British people with their perceived ''national'' identity. They found that while 58% of white people in England described their nationality as "English", the vast majority of non-white people called themselves "British".〔"78 per cent of Bangladeshis said they were British, while only 5 per cent said they were English, Scottish or Welsh", and the largest percentage of non-whites to identify as English were the people who described their ethnicity as "Mixed" (37%).('Identity', ''National Statistics'', 21 February 2006 )〕
