It's not London Derry. It's Derry. You are very good with your facts, and I know that it's easy to give a critique, but as an Irish Republican I have to make a stand. Keep
up the good work.
They call it Angle-land because it's full of fucking squares.
Can you do history on different English accents? Because there so many interesting accents with in Britain.
I've been thinking about doing this soon :)
History With Hilbert i thought the Northumberland and Geordie accent were pretty interesting, I also watch a few other videos about this and they were saying that's these are the oldest accent in Britain, I might be wrong tho. Thank you for making good content they don't tech in school.
How can Geordie be the oldest in uk when Cymraeg were here long before the English language was invented
The Irish always called Wales "Little Britain" (An Bhreatain Bheag).
The Romans called Ireland "Hibernia", not "Little Britain".
Yeah. I know.
You see what I did there
You’re both right. The Romans also called Ireland Britannia Minor
@@deanstubbs827 No they didn't. Now you're confusing Ireland with Brittany.
@@washerdryer3466 Yes, Ireland was called Little Britain.
I teach English abroad. I spend so much time trying to explain to kids that. "No, you can not just replace the term 'The UK', with 'England', they are not equivalent."
You forgot about the channel Islands. They are part of the British Isles.
Lord Skeptic Manx and Cornish too
Yes . He did coz he was too focused at having a go at the Irish by including us in his glorious colonial past.
You are perfectly correct, the channel islands are part of the British Isles, but not part of the Celtic Isles. The British Isles, as you point out, means those isles which are under the British jurisdiction. Geographically, the Channel Islands are off the coast of France and therefore not part of geographical islands that are Britain and Ireland - The Celtic Isles is a much more accurate term for those two countries
@@aishalotter9995 they mentioned the Isle of man and Cornwall.
Cornwall is part of England.
The British Isles is the Archipelago which the Channel Islands aren’t geographically part of due to their location off the coast of France. But they are “considered” part of them though aren’t actually.
Welsh in fact is an old germanic word, still alive in my younger days in German language (but outdated nowadays) as "welsch", meaning foreigners, especially of romance languages (but could of course well work with celtic languages too). In the form "walsch" it is even today used by german speaking swiss people to denounce the romance speaking people of Switzerland.
Just fyi ;)
Aye I believe the famous fusiliers were (possibly still are) called the Welch Fusiliers.
Volker Wendt Walsh, sometimes Welsh is a large tribe in Ireland and funny enough, the Irish Gaelic for the surname is Breathnach, which probably could be translated as British person. In many rural areas the name is pronounced Welsh
To denounce Romansch speakers? That’s sad.
The Welsh called themselves Cymry - friends
I love ur vids, and have been binge watching them. I hope u make many more and get much more subs
Gruffyd ap llywelyn was also kinda the braveheart of Wales he resisted Edward longshanks for many years before William Wallace this happened just after Edward returned from the crusade
Thanks for mentioning Kernow aka Cornwall. Our claim is that we are the only Celtic part of what is politically England, and the only part with a distinct language. British Isles is a purely geographical term so clearly includes all of Ireland and the Isle of Man (which has its own parliament and sets its own taxes, like the Channel Islands).
Welshman here, fully in support of Cornish independence
I am very interested in cornish language and Cornwall and is basically Ireland little brother yeah I am Irish and want a Scottland Wales 🏴, Cornwall, and Isle of man and United Ireland
one day I hope Cornwall can become a self governing member of the united kingdom. the culture is too distinct form the rest of England, its nearly ads bad as trying to say wales is just another part of England. should this happen i believe there is a good chance of the Cornish language having a proper revival.
@@TheXenomorphGuySMSE just because it’s a different culture doesn’t mean it should look for independence. Look at American 50 states and many cultures and yet they remained United to be the global superpower today.
@@maxdavis7722 i didn't say independence. i Said a self governing part of the uk. that is literally what every US state is. self governing part of the union. incase you didnt know, the united kingdom is a country made pof of 4 smaller countries which all have different laws, similar to the US states. what im saying is cornwall should be one of these countries
Great video
Thanks
What confuses me the most is the difference between Great Britain and the tiny isles of crown depencies and some other fancy stuff which isn't really Britain but something else of the Queen. Would be nice when you could explain this, too.
This is a good suggestion. I watched another video (not Hilbert's) explaining the proper nomenclature for all of the lands Britain has (generally speaking), but in the video, they state the proper term for all Britain has is called the Greater British Isles, if I am not mistaken. :-)
Edit: I corrected the title to be the "GreatER British Isles" (not just "Great").
The Latin name for Ireland was Hibernian, Scotland was Caledonia was not called little Britain by the Romans. Great Britain was to differentiate between lesser Britain/Brittany.
England, Wales and Cornwall= Britannia.
Scotland, Mann and Northern England= Caledonia.
Ireland and Northern Ireland= Hibernia.
Ireland has had many names in the past. Little Britain was one of them.
@@noodlyappendage6729 Source please? That's utter hogwash. Bhreatana Beag (Little Britain) is Irish Gaelic for Wales - Little Britain.
@@AnnesleyPlaceDub70 Before you tell me I’m talking bollocks look it up. Ireland was referred to as Little Britain at the same time Albion was referred to as Great Britain.
@@noodlyappendage6729 you and Ptolemy were talking bollix so.
Ireland was never "Britain" in any way shape size or form. Two separate islands thank fuck.
do a video on the history of wales!!
Good vid mate.
Eventually you'll get Canadians saying they're not part of the American continent, and it should be referred to the American continent and Canada.
can't compare a continent to an archipelago . both ireland and britain are part of the content of europe .
Is that an attempt at logic for something?
So why not include USA and Canada as British isles?
They were both British overseas possessions one time same as Ireland?
@Canadian Mapping calling Ireland British is exactly that.
@Canadian Mapping Yes, I agree, never put nationally in front of geography, but isn't that exactly what the British have done (in the original subject of this discussion).
@@philipbrennan4214 it’s not nationality it’s just the name of the biggest island and the others.
It is like there was a hierarchy for a while in the isles with Norman's at the top, Anglo Saxons in the middle, and Celts at the very bottom yeah
It was all going great until he said Londonderry
Kevc00
OK .... Luggderry !
Happy Now ?
It was named Londonderry by Royal Charter 1662, and a 2007 court ruling showed that is still the city's official name. There have been attempts to officially change the name of the city to Derry as recently as 2015 but until that happens Londonderry is just as correct despite people's hurt feelings.
Ireland speak england it British teritoria! Iris speak no eire anymor only som %. Now dey vant be englandis anglosaksons.
@@turkoositerapsidi from the way you type you can tell your not from here and you clearly from what I can tell from your fucked up English is you know nothing about ireland
@@themorebike880 always, always make sure your grammar and punctuation are correct before you criticise others.
Merlin had the vision of the Dragons I think.
Do one on the diffrence between Holland and the Netherlands next.
Planned it ;)
Can you do a video on England, and more specifically, when it was basically the Kingdom of Wessex and Winchester being the capital? :) I still find it interesting that London wasn't the capital for a long LONG time.
Why do you have the Brittany flag on the video icon instead of the St Perran flag for Cornwall?
Uh "for all intensive purposes" 5:59
buddy
did you say this ironically
or do you not know it's "for all intents and purposes"
I listened back and with my accent that's what it sounds like but I assure you I used the proper phrase ;)
History With Hilbert love your videos buddy
also maybe I'm quite dense or just very metaphorically short so this fact flew over my head, but I am having trouble figuring out your nationality/allegiance/ethnicity etc
you have a very British English accent specific to some British locale, not the light RP you hear in, say, Indians educated at Oxford. And it also sounds flawlessly English, so I feel like you must be a native speaker. You live there, too, if I'm not mistaken.
But then when you break into Dutch and any of its related languages they sound so natural. And of course you shed a single tear whenever a Dutch patriotic thing happens.
You know tons about the history of both places.
What's the dizzle?
How is it "for all intents and purposes?" That'd be like "For all intents and purposes, the Earth is in the solar system." It just is. It would imply that technically, the UK has claims in Ireland, but it was ceremonial at best.
"For all intents and purposes, we agree that the first world war was caused by Archduke Ferdinand's death" because there were other factors, but that is the most important one, and the one you will need to know and will be taught.
It's just the phrasing irks me, as if the UK has any claim over Ireland.
I am not think it is quite accurate to call Strongbow "English. He was Norman. The Normans invaded England in 1066 and became the aristocracy which slowly became English speaking. The Norman invasion of Ireland followed a similar pattern. They became the aristocracy and slowly turned Irish. So Strongbow (Gilbert de Clare) was Norman, spoke French and grew up in Wales. His ancestors were Vikings.
They refer to him as an Anglo-Norman.
As an Englishman I feel Welsh should be represented on the flag.
Fuck no, hoping us Welsh leave the UK soon
Nathan Jones The Welsh will never leave the Union, there just to comfy to move and admit it you like being dominated by England plus England Scotland and Wales belong together in a union and at least it stop all of us from going to war with each other.
@@foundationofBritain The English is the problem, get rid of English then the Real Britannia is whole again
@@nathanjones2473 but in the ancient times Welsh wanted Red Dragon to fly over the whole of Britain, it is in their legends
@@nathanjones2473 And English are just Britons who switched to Germanic language earlier than others
I thought the Romans called Ireland Hibernia the land of the rain or something like that
I believe that's true, and Britannia was only the area of land that they conquered (so England and Wales) :P
Britannia was used to mean the entire island of britian by julius caesar and the romans in general .
Close - Hibernia actually means "winter" in Latin (it is the derivative of words like "hibernate"), however, it can also mean approximately "stormy" - as anyone who has ever been to Ireland knows, it rains on the Emerald Isle pretty much all the time.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 The Romans called Scotland Caledonia, it was not considered to be a part of Britannia.
@@maxfarley2519 Caledonia was not the name of Scotland it was a tribe in Scotland, Scotland was called Albania from Alba and yes it was and is part of Britannia.
4:23 It's actually called Cumbria now, and is made up of what was Cumberland, Westmorland, and parts of Lancashire. The change was made in 1974.
Thought I already posted this but Wales in Irish is Little Britain.
Excellent explanation. One little gripe - the anglo-saxons didn't push the Celts to the west. Modern DNA studies have shown that the Celts in modern day England people became culturally Anglo Saxon and took on the language and culture of the mercenaries who were hired after the Romans departed and left a vacuum , a bit like we're becoming culturally American now! Add in the Danes in the East and the Norwegians in the Northwest and you get a proper meting pot. I reference the place names near where I live Eccles-Celtic, Urmston-Saxon, Davyhulme - Norwegian. So as a Mancunian (Romano-celtic-saxon word) , I am more accurately a Skanglo-saxon-celt. I might have some ancestors from Holland.
The Anglo-Saxons didn’t push all the Brits west. Many stayed. But many did move out.
This is information that textbooks' writers here in Russia will never get into their heads. Still will continue to call UK "England"
In some of English language text books the whole of the old Soviet Union was refered to as "Russia".
Intensive purposes is not a phrase! It's "for all intents and purposes"
Red and white dragon is also in High School DxD
Hmm that white rose is nice, almost as good as a more colourful one 😊
Look forward to a Glyndwr video.
Which flag is it that he always keeps showing in his videos?
The vision of the fighting dragons is from The Prophecies of Merlin. part of A History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth (circa 1100-1155).
There is a prophecy that the Red Dragon (Wales) will defeat the White Dragon (England)
The reason not to call us the British Isles is because it is offensive to 5 million people. No one here refers to it as the British Isles, and having an English person tell us we shouldn't mind is worse. The English don't get to decide what everything is called. You're not in charge anymore!
What is the black and white almost American flag at the bottom of the thumbnail?
that’s the flag for Brittany
I love the history :-)
I understand that the scottish flag provides the white outline for the red "Northern Irish" X cross, but why is there a white outline for the red English t cross? Maybe Wales can have that....
It shows the English Flag is on top, anywhere else would be completely unacceptable
Aren't Italians called Welscher as well in the Alps? Also Wallachia comes from Vlach that also comes from that word, interesting.
G-Rex Saurus It's an interesting point.... As Hilbert alluded to previously, the old English word for the native British was 'Wealas', literally meaning 'foreigners'. In fact, historical sources suggest that at one stage what is now today considered Wales was previously referred to as 'North Wales' and what roughly corresponds to what is Cornwall today was thus referred to as 'West Wales'. Furthermore, the suffix '-wall', as in Cornwall, comes from the same aforementioned root ! The prefix 'Corn-' came from the older Roman name for the Brythonic tribe that inhabited the area, being 'Cornovii'.
'Welsh' represents the word that the Germanic people used for all the subjects of the Roman Empire. The Anglo-Saxons applied it to the Britons, but the Germans applied it to the Gauls and the Italians.
In antiquated German foreigners in general and especially French are called "Welsch". There are also old words like "Welschkorn" for "Mais". The modern word "Walnuss" (walnut) also derives from "welsche Nuss" (foreign nut). And in Switzerland the French-speaking part of the country is called "Welschschweiz".
And the Goths applied it to the Romanians and the other Latin-speaking groups in the Balkans. Hence Wallachia and Vlach.
And don´t forget the Walloons, which is the French speaking Belgians.
Northumbrian and proud my dude
Are the offshore islands part of Great Britain Politically?
I think what hes saying is we should all like british isles name because were all proto celtic atlantic people but technically if you split it into goidelic and brythonic then bryth would be brittany, cornwall and cymru.
YES! Another Yorkshireman who realises the importance and brilliance of our esteemed land, God's Own County! Larger than NI, a greater economy than Wales, and more people than Scotland, Yorkshire is indeed the best shire of these fair isles, and I consider myself proud and blessed to be able to live here.

Interesting. I didn’t know Yorkshire had a bigger landmass then Northern Ireland. I find out the other day that Ulster is larger then Wales.
I'm from Yorkshire I think the population of the county is 5.3 million
I was shocked when I was in both Scotland and Wales and hearing their disdain for the English ...Always thought it was a tight union ?!?
SirKrayg Oh wow...I wasn't hating as I said I was just taken back,always thought it was close bond,but with not having much of an accent people in Scotland would always think I was English and be hostile tbh,and when I would say that I was Southern Irish,they would cheer ???
Why on earth would you have thought that? In Scotland particularly, there's always be a strong independence movement.
@@StrathpefferJunction I don’t see why that would translate to hatred of the English people rather than the Westminster Government. It’s just ridiculous
@@deanstubbs827 What are you on about? My point (which was made two years ago) was that there's always been an independence movement in Scotland and this notion that the UK is 'a tight union' is ridiculous.
I agree with you Eíbhlin, the union isn’t tight, The Scottish have wanted out of the Union for years, and there’s a large rise in the same for independence in Wales also…. When it comes to sporting events you’ll find Scotland Ireland and Wales will cheer their own and any other team other than England.
Where does Cornwall fit into this geographic jigsaw puzzle?
Watch til the end ;)
Brittany was part of the British "Empire" for hundreds of years before the Angles and Saxons turned up. Hence the language and name similarities. Great vid - I hope you have chance to look up some British/Khymric history away from the English prism. I think you will find it fascinating. Look up Alan Wilson as a starting point. Keep the vids coming - really enjoying them and good to see this stuff getting some coverage. BTW - Ireland was not really part of the pre-Angle British Empire and I can see the Irish point about not wanting to be referred to as part of Britain- historically they weren't. Just the Angles lumping all the natives together again
The Roman name for Brittany (western France) was "Amorica" . Today's England and modern day Brittany were both regions in Roman Empire. Brittany, France, was founded by British Celts fleeing the Saxons in the Dark Ages. There is even a district named "Cornouille" (Cornwall) in today's Brittany. Theory is that there was already a Celtic culture in France, the Gauls, when the Roman controlled what is now France. The Gauls were a different group of Celts to the Gaels.
I don't see any Pakistanis complaining about the term 'Indian Subcontinent'.
Go look it up. "Since the partition of India, citizens of Pakistan (which became independent of British India in 1947) and Bangladesh (which became independent of Pakistan in 1971) often perceive the use of the Indian subcontinent as offensive and suspicious because of the dominant placement of India in the term.

Indeed it is! 👍
Interestingly, all peoples of the British Isles are technically Celtic, it was only the leadership of each peoples invading (Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Normans) that changed and demanded the local populous to bend the knee.
Northern England and Wales (such as Yorkshire) are more linked to the people of Pre-Roman and Roman-Britain Scotland than Anglo-Saxons or Normans.
Half of Europe is (was) Celtic.
You forgot the Northern-Irish flag in your thumbnail?
And you forgot the isle of man, you should've mentioned it earlier :(
Northern Ireland doesn't have an official flag anymore. The Isle of Man is not part of the UK.
You forgot Jersey and Gnersey.
Another great video Hillbilly
Simply put, I just love the British isles...They are like a "mini continet". Great video pal! I love them Scots and them Irish, drink team with the English and I am amasied at the "Vikings" of Northen Scotland and the unique Cornish and other celitic minorities. Like it or not guys, genetically and culturally you are all related. You are like us, the Balkans, a big happy disfunctional (and highly alcolic) familly. BLESS YOU :)
Except that Ireland is not one of the British Isles, just say Ireland and Britain or vice versa but please don’t use a pejorative term to describe our country. Ireland is an Irish isle, Britain is a British one. That’s it.
Wait. You're from Lancashire? Your last name doesn't happen to be Crenshaw?
"Anglican" comes from the latin "anglicus", itself from "anglus" meaning "Angle" (as in the person, not the mathematical concept - the latter comes from the latin "angulus".

No need to put a welsh accent for Owen Glendower as it's an anglicisation of Owain Glyndwr. Or Owain Glyndwr was appropriated by the Welsh like Conway or Cardiff. The point being Glendower is an English name.

How about (Greater)London as city-state within the state? Of course historically speaking there is no such thing and geographically it is part of England, but it does have a population, economy etc. greater than those of Scotland, Wales, or (Northern)Ireland and all?
It does, and the rest of the UK hates it with a passion and blames all its problems on it xD
So does Yorkshire 👌
The city-state is the "City of London", Greater London is the metropolitan area that includes Westminster :D
Vincent Nadin I thought Westminster was a palace and isn't the e tire London area go to oxford or something I really don't know
Jerold Productions: a quick Google search reveals this (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_London); Greater London is an English County. Westminster is a city within the county and is the city in which sites such as the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey are found. The City of London is an autonomous area within this.
Actually the modern county is Cumbria, not Cumberland. Cumberland and Westmorland combined to make Cumbria in 1974. You should know that if you're from Northumberland!
Good video. Please do a video of the difference between American and British English. Thanks.
Do you know the reason why the Welsh flag is not part of the Union Jack?
Because Wales was historically part of the Kingdom of England which merged with the Kingdom of Scotland to form the union creating the flag. (The Irish part is included because it is or was a separate country)
Okay, thank you :)
cool, now I know
The dragon didn't fit in between the lines? No just joking, I think Angus and David explained it perfectly.
That's a shame. I think a dragon would add a nice touch too the flag

As an Irish man I always understood that they were called the British Isles because Briton was Latin for celt
No briton was not latin for celt lol . the word for celt in latin is Keltoi .briton was used to describe the celts from the island of britan, but was also applied to ireland as part of the preteni isles ,however most histrion suspect is because the greeks never visited ireland or their knowledge of ireland was very poor ,the irish are not britons they are gaels . pretni = chruthin in irish which were seen as invaders and foreigners . the romans also called the balgea gauls despite not being gaulish . they simply . they simply named the region after those they had the most contact with .
Goidelic Irish name, Cruithne, is cognate with Brythonic Priteni.
As far as I'm aware, most experts are of the opinion that the Brittonic branch of the Celtic language had little to no influence in Ireland. Ireland's predominant lingua-cultural history is, of course, Goidelic, or Gaelic.the Goidelic and Brittonic branches of Insular Celtic are thought to have evolved simultaneously but on either side of the Irish Sea, in Ireland and Britain respectively, with the Goidelic branch being the more archaic of the two.
the classical geographers were making presumptions on the basis of the unreliable observations and hearsay of others they never visted ireland . the Gallic Celts, called Ireland Ierne, and Britain Albion.
the only british ever in ireland were the Chruthin who were invaders to the native population of ireland the Erainn, but the chruthin = Qreteni became assimilated by the irish so they became irish but arrived as invaders.
the term british isles was created by british writers in the 16th century whos writings are described as propaganda .
They are the same people. It about culture and ancestry. They may hate it but Irish Are Britons !
LOOK at the history ... Druids ?
We all come from Northern Spain ..
@@leshmahagow364 no the gaels came from celtic iberia the brytonnics came from gaul both celtic
Think of it like Scandinavian germanic and german germanic
It's called Great Britain because it's great. I mean it's just fantastic.
A number of years ago I tried to learn Dutch; and obviously on visiting The Netherlands I was keen to try it out. I went into a small shop to buy something and used my best Dutch to ask for it. The man behind the counter said to me - in perfect English - why are you trying to speak Dutch... we all speak English!! I am afraid that killed my enthusiasm to continue studying Dutch. Something I now regret!
Nobody ever said it such stark terms , but I when I lived in France I would speak a carefully thought out French Question and the Person would simply reply in English !
2 things from an englishman brought up in ireland and who has lived in holland , in 1922 ireland became a free state "home rule" which in turn caused the civil war and why do you touch on the netherlands so much
right he sounds english but that doesnt mean much lol
Yes, I'm a Dutchman who grew up in England :)
cool man i loved my year in holland and picked up dutch fast, they are very similar which made it easy, great videos
So.scotland is kinda is like ireland then in away
What about Roman Britain ? I thought they were the "Britons" and not the Celts
no, the Celts were the Britons before the English invaded & used Celtic artifacts to justify their invasions of the lands they conquered. The term "British" today has been corrupted and is used to create a false sense of unity within the United Kingdom
'Celts' is a made up concept, originally by the Greeks referring to 'Keltoi' north of Macedonia, then the Romans referring to everyone north of the Alps, West of the Rhine as 'Celtae'.
So even the origins of the terminology are confused.
The crowns united after Elizabeth the 1st died but the countries didn't become united until the Acts of Union in 1707 so your wrong
Aye but the flag does go back to James' time, the first flag of the Saltire and Saint George's Cross date back to 1606.
Yes thats correct but the flag you used didn't come into existence until 1707.
what about great britain
I SENT EMAIL
Act of union in 1704 created great Britain-the union of the COUNTRIES of England and Scotland, not just the crowns
Isnt Britain supposed to be just england and Wales due to how the Roman's had Britannia and when Scotland is combined it is now Great Britain
maybe the word Great added to it explains ? It Is the name of the Island
The British isles is not a generally accepted term in Ireland, some people don't mind it, but the vast majority of Irish people view it as politicized, and as a territorial claim. Which given Ireland is a republic that fought for its sovereignty, is a big no no.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_naming_dispute
The UK government recognises this and no longer uses the term, rather refers to the islands as "these isles" or "Britain and Ireland" as does the Irish government.
Also the Official name for the republic of Ireland is just "Ireland".
Honestly this is like the irish equivalent of calling Pakistan, India (people will get very annoyed).
My understanding was that Britain referred to Britannia minor (England and Wales), while Great Britain referred to Britannia major (Britain plus Scotland)
Did the romans call Ireland Hibernia ?
Yep.
They also called it Scotia & Scotia Major
Wrong flag for England buddy

Hmmm no third syllable in Irish just Al-ba
It's actually more like Alapah in Gàidhlig, although that might just be a dialectical thing as pronunciation does vary throughout the Islands.
Which is weird because Irish does use ephenthetic vowels.
