Birmingham (pronunciation (help·info); IPA: /'b??m???m/; Burr-ming-um)is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands county ofEngland. Birmingham is the largest of England's core cities, and isthe second city of the United Kingdom.[2] The City of Birmingham has apopulation of 1,006,500 (2006 estimate).[3] It forms part of thelarger West Midlands conurbation, which has a population of 2,284,093(2001 census)[4] and includes several neighbouring towns and cities,such as Solihull, Wolverhampton and the towns of the Black Country.
The city's reputation was forged as a powerhouse of the IndustrialRevolution in England, a fact which led to Birmingham being known as"the workshop of the world" or the "city of a thousand trades".[5]Although Birmingham's industrial importance has declined, it hasdeveloped into a national commercial centre, being named as the thirdbest place in the United Kingdom to locate a business, and the 21stbest in Europe by Cushman & Wakefield in 2007.[6] It is also thefourth most visited city by foreign visitors in the UK.[7] In 1998,Birmingham hosted the G8 summit at the International ConventionCentre, the birthplace of exhibitions in 1850 and remains a popularlocation for conventions today.[8]
People from Birmingham are known as 'Brummies', a term derived fromthe city's nickname of Brum. This comes in turn from the city'sdialect name, Brummagem,[9] which is derived from one of the city'searlier names, 'Bromwicham'. There is a distinctive Brummie dialect(distinct vocabulary and syntax) and accent, both of which differ fromthe adjacent Black Country.
