National: Japanese
Secondary: English, because no one's actually fluent in Japanese
Tertiary: High Gibberish, because no one's actually fluent in English either.
Traditional: Various hand gestures, grunts, shrieks, occasional chest thumping and "HARABAZAIKO!".

Of course, any language is allowed, but people think Japanese makes a good language for "official" purposes despite the apparent lack of a government body, being a Libertarian Police State Anarchy.

There is archeological evidence to suggest that at one point, Japanese was the native language of the core Sakana ethnic group, but they were unintentionally silenced in a freak mining truck accident.

It's worth noting that the native currency's name is not native to the Sakana people. Actually, no one's really sure where "Shmagrawassiya" came from. This is less of a mystery though compared to why there's a currency in this society to begin with.

Esalvian is the national language. Other languages recgonized as working languages are English, German, Russian, and Turkish.

Esalvian itself is part of the Turkic language family, though it is a language isolate.

A Turkic nation located in Eastern Europe, more specifically in the Odessa region. Bordered by Ukraine, Romania, and Moldova respectively, of course. Very easy going and relaxed culture. And yes, part of the EU.

Despite being distinct and unrelated to Anglo-Saxon nations, the primary language of the Carcorodine Realm is in fact English. This originated because English was considered a non-threatening language, as it was not associated with any of the native factions of the Carcorodine Realm. In time, it would essentially replace many of the native languages. Indeed, most native languages exist only in a few culturally specific terms that didn't have clear translations in English. Such terms are found mostly in cultural aspects of society, such as media, literature, prostitution, and the theatre.

The official languages are Corunian, a language closely related to (and partially mutually intelligible with) English, and Mironorese, a language isolate. English is spoken as the official lingua franca. The most notable regional language is Morelandish, which is unrelated to Corunian, English, or Mironorese.

Primary Languages: High Terelain, Low Terelain
Secondary Languages: Western Jalaedan Common, Eastern Jalaedan Common, Is'anai

High Terelain is a complex, nuanced language common to scientists, poets, philosophers, the nobility and similar groups. Grammatically similar to Sanskrit, it is the language within which metaphysical and abstract concepts are more developed. For instance, there are four different ways of saying the High Terelain word for 'hope' each with a different shade of meaning.

Low Terelain is a simpler language and whilst meanings for varying words are also complex, for example the different ways of saying 'water' might mean hot water, cold water, still water or mirror, the words are shorter and easier to use in everyday conversation. Because of this Low Terelain is the language of the masses and is far better at describing concrete everyday processes and objects than its High counterpart.

The secondary languages were brought over from the Old Lands and are the trade languages utilised on the continent of Jalaeda prior to the Exodus. These languages are not used by the majority of the population, though there are enough speakers of these languages to make them de facto is not acknowledged languages within the Exilic Regency.

Due to efforts to preserve the language, culture and history of the Eastern Terelains, it is forbidden to teach any foreign, non-Terelain language to an individual until they have learned both High and Low Terelain. Because of this, and because there has been no contact with the West for three centuries, multilingualism is at a historic all time low within the Isles and many have stopped using the old Common languages entirely. The only reason they've even been preserved as they have is because they will be needed to aid in the translation of the Common of Jaleda during the return due to three centuries of linguistic drift.
My Fantasy Tech Nation, of anthropomorphic felines driven from their homeland three centuries ago, who founded this new nation on a distant shore.

Their IC population is roughly a million times smaller than their listed population, standing at present at 1,217,000. Their military is small but highly trained and well-equipped, with a standing force of 30,000 and a reserve force of a further 70,000.

I really need to start RPing them on the forums, so drop me a TG if you want to RP with them!
