In primary and secondary schools, pupils learn Latin, Greek, Sanskrit, and our own native languages called Pulian. All four are related to each other, and, while Sanskrit isn't a cultural component in our nation, its linguistic structure is a stepping stone to line the pupil's ability to understand the incredibly archaic and irrational grammar of Pulian.

English and Hindi are the official languages in The Republics. Regional languages like Bengali, Punjabi, Marathi, and the Dravidian languages are spoken regionally, though none of these enjoys official status as part of federal objectives to unite The Republics under the Hindi language.

There is no official language at federal level in the United States, however English is the national language. English became widely spoken by Kutch influence before the War of Independence. When independence was declared in 1776, English was already the most widely spoken language, and that still remains the same today. Nakyrozian is the second most-widely spoken language in the US. At school, children are taught Nakyrozian, and there are also communities in which the language dominates even English.

The Zitran language, which was once spoken by the Aankejn people of Kavlaik during the times of Native Zitrans, is becoming less and less common (only 1.7% of the population speak it). It has similar ties with Legonese and Avantian, and research has shown to prove that Zitran influenced both of these languages. There are small communities (most of these can be found in South Canaspar), quite similarly to Nakyrozian communities, in which Zitran is dominant language.

French (0.6%), Avantian (0.5%), Cahrollese (0.4%), Rossian (0.3%) and Imyahistani (0.2%) are the other most common languages spoken in the United States. The Hawaiian language is commonly spoken in Hawaii, but not very commonly on the mainland.
