re:

With 8.1 Cortana is only available in the US whereas 8.1 update which is currently only accessible in the preview for developers can have Cortana in the UK and China. Another update that came to Cortana in the update 1 in the preview for developers is Cortana Alpha which is available in Australia, Canada and India.

Yeah but you can still get Cortana....

Just change region to American (phone will restart)

Change language to American English (will automatically download speech pack then need to restart phone)

Next make sure American English is above British English in settings

Then from settings, swipe to the left and Cortana is there
