The UCA's government recognizes no official languages from a legal perspective. This is done in order to instill the idea that all languages are important. However, the government does use English, Spanish, and French as de facto languages. The reason for this is that the majority of Americans speak English, Spanish, French, or a combination of the three.

English is mainly spoken in North America and in most of the Caribbean as well as in many major cities. It is also widely spoken in parts of South America. Spanish is spoken in much of Latin America and can be widely found in North America as well. As for French, it is the least spoken of the three. It can be found spoken In Northeastern North America as well as in certain Caribbean islands and in certain sections of South America.

Other languages commonly spoken in the UCA are:
Portuguese
German
Italian
Chinese
Russian
Polish
Danish

Due to the fact that many languages are commonly spoken in the UCA, many people are pressured in schools to learn two or more languages. This leads to most people being either bilingual or trilingual.

NOTE: UCA is an abbreviation of the United Countries of America, in case that you didn't know.

Commonly Greek.

But some of the ancient minority group speaks Latin.

And those who studied in abroad speaks in English.

English, because we're ex-american, Spanish, since we share a border and disputed land with Mexico, and German due to mass immigration from Germany post-WW2.

Latin, Chinese and French are held in high regard and eagerly studied at university.

About half the population of the Miraclian Antilles speaks Antillean English, and Antillean French is also spoken bout about half the population, while about a quarter speaks one of the two Native Antillean languages (~10% Guamese, and ~15% Guadeloupean).
Obviously, there are many bilingual people in the Antilles, and some are even trilingual!
In any case, all four languages are official languages of the Miraclian Antilles.

English: "Hello! My name is Henry and I live in the Miraclian Antilles."
French: "Bonjour! Je m'appelle Henrí, et j'habite en les Antilles Miracliens."
Guamese: "Sera! N'enrí igolati to N'Zemlia Miraclinia enamilati."
Guadeloupean: "Nimè! Ni Henri ingalata zo Shengla Miraclina namiyata."

My nation does not speak, but the people in it speak a mixture of English, German, Russian, Finish, and Dutch. The National Language is English but this is not due to being an English colony, rather the lands were settled by people of German, Russian, Finish and Dutch descent and to pick any one of those languages would have been to play favorites so English was chosen as a lingua franca.

In informal settings, we tend to fall back on various local languages; my own native language is Spanish, for example, but Russian, various Arabic dialects, and even some African languages (particularly Somali and a few Bantu and Khoisan languages).

Cirona's most distinct feature is its multilingual landscape. As part of recognising this, the federal government recognises the four largest language-speaking groups, namely Chinese, English, French and Sejunese as national languages, meaning that these four languages are recognised to be of great importance in the daily Ceronic life.

However, French is the sole official language meaning that the executive government only uses French in internal operations (eg documents, official intra-communications, etc).

English is the majority language, being the first or a primary language of at least 80% of the population.

It is followed closely behind by Spanish, spoken by about 50% of the population most in multilingual homes.

Third is Micosuki-Creek, which is spoken by about 20% of the populace (they being members of the Seminole Tribe).

Due to the large number of English and Spanish speakers, Spanglish is recognized as an official dialect.

As befits a state of so many peoples, many languages are spoken in the Vandal Realm. Latin is the major one, being the language of the church and of the commoners in Italy in particular. Vandalic and Ostrogothic are spoken by the aristocracy in Africa and Italy, respectively. There is also a large amount of local dialects and regional languages, which are spoken by certain groups but are not as important for the nation as a whole.
