by Stormaen
English is the main language. About 96% of people speak it as their first language and it's the language of government, business and education, etc.

The second most spoken language in Stormaen is Polish, spoken by about 5,000 people.

Stormaen is also one of only two places outside of Scotland to have had a Scottish Gaelic presence. Following the Highland Clearances in the 18th and 19th centuries, many Highlanders found a comforting familiarity in the Fells of Stormaen and took up residence there. Scottish Gaelic was once so prevalent that entire villages spoke nothing but Gaelic. Questions were also raised in Parliament concerning the "second settlement" of Stormaen.

However, by 1900, the Scottish Gaelic communities had not only ceased growing but were actively declining. There are still approximately 800 or so native Scottish Gaelic speakers living in Stormaen, mostly around the village of Cairngorm.

The language of our people is Sarmatan, it is a complicated mix of ancient Scythian and Proto-Slavic. However the high elders are the only ones that speak the language of the first people, which doesn't fall into any language group.

Languages of Arztoztka

Arztoztka has two official languages: Arztewzwek (Cornish) and Arzhoneg (Breton). This because the tribes that landed in Arztoztka a millennia or so took different paths and landed in different sides of the island, and eventually reunited, but enough time passed so they could develop a new language.

A recognized language is English, and is taught at schools (alongside Arztewzwek and Arzhoneg, due the heavy similarity on almost everything that the languages possess, so it is easy for one native speaker of any of both language to learn the other), in order to facilitate communication between tourists, as well in communication efforts in case of any military intervention is issued, to communicate properly with the locals.

by Westgothia
Westgothic (a descendant of Old Norse and relative of languages such as Icelandic, Danish, etc.) is the official language and predominant educational and governmental language, spoken as a first language by around 92% of the population and as a second language by most of the rest.

English and French are frequently used in business and occasionally in education. Taking one or the other for at least three years is a prerequisite to graduating secondary school, and owing to Westgothia's period under British hegemony, the three oldest tertiary institutions (the secular Universities of Halladhovn and Kvítbjork, and the Roman Catholic College of St. Gregory the Great), founded as anglophone colleges, still conduct some non-language classes in English, especially at the graduate level for the first two. English is spoken as a first language by less than 1% of the population, but is spoken as an additional (especially second) language by over 60%; French is spoken as a first language by about 3%, but as an additional language by only about 25%.

Additional minority languages include Danish (the language of the colonial realm in which Westgothia marked the western border), Spanish (the language of most Latin American immigrants), and Hindi (the language of the traditional plurality of Asian immigrants).

Official Languages: English, French, Latin

All citizens speak English fluently with a large majority also speaking French. The only region of the Commonwealth that French is the predominate language is the southern coasts. English is the most common language pretty much everywhere else. Not many citizens speak Latin as it's only common amongst the ruling class and their servants, the wealthy, and small groups of civilians.

Primary Languages: High Alor and the Common Tongue.

Secondary Languages: None.

Minority Languages: None.

To explain, High Alor is the language spoken by the aristocracy amongst themselves (so much of government too). The Common Tongue is the language that all people in the Imperial Dominion speak.
