Since it is the United Kingdom that runs the islands, culture in the Falkland Islands is similar to that of British culture. About 70 percent of Falklanders are either migrant British and Scottish or native born Scottish and British, while the remaining 30 percent are of French, Gibraltarian, Portuguese, Scandinavian and Chilean blood. Although diversified, the people here are laidback and generally preferring to eat organic food and imported goods from England.
Since the majority of the islanders are British, British English is also the main language. The people from the isolated islands, however, use native dialects or English but with a different accent.
Due to the islands' low population, most of the islands' literature has been written by outsiders.
The houses in the islands, particularly in Stanley, are made of wood and iron. Some resemble apartments and bungalows in London.
The islanders generally enjoy playing cricket or football.
