We speak American English. I'm fairly certain it's a real language. Maybe...
American civic nationalist!
I love my country, and will die for her. However, I'm not going to be all in your face about it. I do not believe that America is the greatest country in the world either. Yes, the American government is currently pretty crappy. I know. What am I supposed to do about it?
I'm a puppet of Libertarian California, so you know where I'm coming from when I say things.

This flag is what you would get when you combine the flags of the three main nations that ruled America: the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States. It combines the pre-1801 British flag, the Betsy Ross 13 Colony American flag, and the Confederate Battle flag. Cool, isn't it?

Note: I'm not actually an imperialist in real life.

A new form of Ancient Greek. Traditionally our people spoke Nahuatl, but the number of people that talked that went dwindling down and Ancient Greek went up - although it's not really Greek anymore. It's a mixture of Nahuatl and Greek.

There are 3 languages.

The script is very hard for humans to copy.

Colossii, Dyksii, and Vasii.

Colossii= Ktykenpeq (Kite-kin-peck) means Human.
Dyksii= Skyayarkten (Sky-yar-kin-ten) Human.
Vasii= Zukawaii (Zu-kaw-ai) Human.

As Guiridonia's only intellectual I speak impeccable English, as well as 16 other languages, mostly of the Finno-Ugric family, although I also have a smattering of Lapao,Lapyp, Jackeen and other rare tongues. My fellow countryfolk, however, show little interest in foreign languages, and speak Guirish, which could best be described as a mixture of Pidgin, English and the various 'Spanish' languages (as well as phrases learnt from tourists and migrant labourers). A horrendous mishmash, if you ask me.

We have two official languages, English and Keoghn. Virtually all our citizens are bilingual. Generally location depends on which language is used more heavily, in urban areas English is more widely spoken (though it wouldn't be unusual to hear Keoghn) and in rural areas Keoghn is generally more commonly heard, though again it wouldn't be rare to hear English. In the media, 95% of the time English is used. Keoghn is more of an informal language, though an important part of Keogh's culture.

Most Samukanians are bilingual and speak English and Cortalian. French and Japanese are also spoken.

Cortalian is a Romance language that sounds like a combination of English, French, Latin, and Japanese. An example sentence:

Je setex sene a le Takunen de Kotobuki dan le Republi Unite de Samukan.
I am a student at the University of Kotobuki in the United Republic of Samukan.

Dashiopolians speak Dashiopolian (fittingly).

It is an odd blend of English and native Elven languages. So, basically, it sounds like a flowery and overly-simple form of English. (It is really easy to learn due to the need of quick learning by immigrants and when the nation was first formed.)

I = Ea (Verb ending for present tense "-e")
You = Ya (Verb ending "-ys" Pronounced "yis")
He/She = Sa (Verb ending "-as")
We = Na (Verb ending "-an")
You all = Sya (Verb ending "-yas")
They = Sha (Verb ending "-ash")

The verbs aren't too much harder; they're all conjugated in the same way for a given tense.
Note: I'm just back from a hiatus, and I've decided to start Dashiopolis from scratch. Kindly disregard almost everything that this nation used to be! <3
Leader: Empress Sophia Callient
Languages: Dashiopolian, Elven, English, and Draconic
DEFCON: 5
Cultural Notes: Dashiopolis is a large series of islands in the Pacific, notable for a large population of humans, elves, and dragonkin. Socially, everyone is generally treated as equal, and discrimination is highly frowned upon. The military is small, but tech level is higher.
LIKES: Secularism, Humanism, Environmentalism, LGBTQ Rights, Feminism.
DISLIKES: Nationalism, Imperialism, Fascism, Extremism, Fundamentalist Religion, Corporatism.
COULD BE BETTER: Demoracy, Oligarchy, Capitalism, Socialism.

Tepisine, along with English, is the official language of Tepis. Amic and Damic are recognised reigonal/native languages.

Tepisine:

I'd say Tepisine isn't close to any language but if I were to say where I got my inspiration from it'd be from Romance languages.

Sample Words
I/Me= Ai/Meh.
You= Du/Deh. (Formal is 'Sir/Seh'.)
Water= Litór.
Fire = Pirà.
Meat= Carni.
Have= mu resel (to have), resi ('I' form), rese ('You' informal form), resie ('He', 'She', 'It', 'One' form), resur ('We' form), resor ('You' formal form), reselie ('They' form).


For example: Ai resi carni (I have meat).

Nuean, or national language is widely spoken. However, almost all parts of Nueo Soled have their own different dialects and own languages. The few asians, blacks and pacific islanders speak their own languages respectivelly.
The non-humans tend to speak their own various languages, which often are completely unrelated to human speak. There is only one banned language; Japanese.
