English is the most widely spoken and de facto official language of the United Kingdom. A number of regional and migrant languages are also spoken. Indigenous Indo-European regional languages include both Celtic languages and Germanic languages. The main Celtic languages are grouped into Goidelic, which includes Irish and Scottish Gaelic; and the surviving Western Brittonic language, Welsh. Close relatives of English in the West Germanic language group include Scots and Ulster Scots. There are many non-native languages spoken by immigrants and their descendents, including Polish, Hindi, and Urdu. British Sign Language is sometimes used as well as liturgical and hobby languages such as Latin and a Celtic revived form of Southwestern Brittonic, Cornish.
