Merge to Western European migration to Britain[edit]

'French Briton' is a neologism rarely used outside Wikipedia. In addition, this page is short and mostly unsourced, and can easily be merged to the above page. Cop 663 (talk) 19:10, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose, the immigration from different areas of western europe have completely different stories behind them. Gustav von Humpelschmumpel (talk) 23:00, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

understanding[edit]

It is implausible that almost a quarter of people in Britain can understand French. Maybe they can recognise it and/or understand odd words like merci but that is scarcely understanding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.140.57.113 (talk) 15:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, our understanding of Foreign languages is something of a national embarrasment, I find it half to believe that a quarter of the country can speak French fluently. We need a source for this 'fact'. Indisciplined (talk) 23:08, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ancestory[edit]

This mis-spelling occurs more than once. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.140.57.113 (talk) 15:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is spelt ancestry. Lemonade100 (talk) 17:53, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

8 million is ridiculous[edit]

Normans weren't part of France or French by ethnicity during their time, only 12 thousand Huguenots migrated to Britain this is a ludicrous estimate and will never be anything more than a guess.109.154.17.109 (talk) 21:15, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's not such a thing as French ethnicity, this is 19-th century pseudo-science. French population is made of people of Celtic (Gauls), Latin (Romans), Germanic (Franks), Nordic (Vikings), Greek (Marseilles was a Greek colony), Semitic, ... and other ancestry depending on invasions (both ways) and mass migrations. The Normans were French of Nordic descent (Normans = Norse men or Vikings) who instead of raiding the coast, settled there, adopted the local language, religion, traditions and pledged allegiance to the king, and had mixed with indigenous population for generations. William the conqueror was as Duke of Normandy, a vassal of the king of France, and had French as their spoken language. For the numbers, I agree, they are just estimates, without arguing whether they are over or under estimated, just guess work, unless citations support it.

Then if there is no such thing as a French ethnicity how can you claim there are people of French descent in the United Kingdom?86.144.113.58 (talk) 11:57, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
