'''English people''' sometimes live in England, which is one of the nations of the island of [[Great Britain]], which they share with [[Scottish people]] and the [[Welsh people|Welsh]]. Originally they were descended from [[Anglo-Saxons]] and [[Celts]]. Nowadays most of them have forebears from another [[Europe]]an countries and from the rest of the world, after England and the rest of [[UK]] received large waves of [[Immigration|Immigrants]]. Many people leave England to emigrate to former British [[Colony|colonies]], such as [[USA]], [[Australia]], [[New Zealand]], [[Canada]], [[Belize]] and [[South Africa]], for example.
