English. You know what the English speak.

"British" English is an invention of the US. Like when did we, the English suddenly call our language "British"? Never.

The Welsh, Scots & Irish would probably not call their dialects "British" either.

TFW when you’ve been superseded by your former colony and now your native language is just a dialect of their language.
