In a multicultural landscape like the United Kingdom, linguistic diversity is becoming increasingly evident. While English remains the dominant language, the 2021 Census sheds light on the growing popularity of foreign languages, with some surprising shifts in the rankings.

According to the 2021 Census conducted in England and Wales, 91.1 percent of residents indicated English (or Welsh in Wales) as their primary language. However, the focus shifts when it comes to foreign languages, with Polish maintaining its reign as the most commonly spoken non-native language, claiming the top spot for 1.1 percent of the population.
