Most people associate Britain and Ireland with the English language, a vast, sprawling linguistic tree with roots in Latin, French, and German.

You can use it to talk about all sorts of things - from your new labradoodle puppy to the expansive gardens at Versailles, from Roger Federer’s backhand to things that don’t exist at all, like flying pigs.
