Question: does the united kingdom have an official language

Answer: No, The de facto official language of the United Kingdom is English, which is spoken by approximately 59.8 million residents, or 98% of the population, over the age of three. An estimated 700,000 people speak Welsh in the UK, an official language in Wales and the only de jure official language in any part of the UK.
