located in the West Midlands county of England and, according to a 2006
estimate; it has a population of 1,006,500.
| People that are from Birmingham
are often called 'Brummies', because of the city's nickname of Brum. This
name comes from the city's dialect name, Brummagem, which is derived from
one of the city's earlier names, 'Bromwicham'. There is a distinct Brummie
dialect, which is characteristic of people who are from this city.
