Classification path for English
ASCCEG places English within the narrow group British. This path preserves the official relationship between the broad ancestry category and the final detailed group code.
| ASCCEG level | Code | Classification |
|---|---|---|
| Broad group | 2 | North-West European |
| Narrow group | 21 | British |
| Detailed group | 2101 | English |
When to use the detailed group
Use 2101 only when the source response supports the specific label English. If the response identifies only British, review the full set of detailed groups in that narrow group and do not infer a more specific identity.

About this detailed group code
Detailed group pages are the end point of the main ASCCEG hierarchy. They are used when the cultural or ethnic label has been identified precisely enough for final coding.
If the source response is still broad or ambiguous, step back to the narrow group or broad group pages before settling on the final code.
