This is not Greek Smhrinov, this is Greek. "Γεια σας. Το όνομά μου είναι Κόντι και ζω στην χώρα ονόματι Σμίρνοφ."

Anyway in Estenia they speak, Estenian, Greek, English and Bratislavian(I don't have a text for Bratislavian yet, since Bratislav is a different nation.)EDIT: Now I have the Bratislavian Text

Estenian: "Halo. Me nama ës Yuri und I lev en da çantra do Estani."
Greek: "Γεια σας. Το όνομά μου είναι Γιούρι και ζω στην χώρα ονόματι Εστενία."
English: "Hello. My name is Yuri and I live in the country of Estenia."
Bratislavian: Salem. Jasim işta sa Juri i jas zindam vo këşvarenë az Estenia.

The nation of Winzig has two primary languages. The first of which is English, brought to the island by the Cultural Invasion of the 1600s. The other is Winzigin, which is either a very distinct regional dialect of German or it's own language depending on which linguistic you ask.

Netherlands (which is essentially Batavian Netherlands using the spelling rules of the Netherlands Language Union) is the national language; Batavian Netherlands, Batavian, Joertjoe, Jarsa, Kartjak, Pandoe and German are Landstalen (official languages within their own "Countries").

There are also several languages from motherland Netherland still used in Batavia, mainly Zeeuws and Gronings language variants and (Westerlauwers) Frisian, beside which "Joertjoehollands" (a Creole language of Joertjoe and seventeenth century Hollandic dialects) is used in some parts of the Country of the Joertjoe.

English (most widely spoken language for inter-ethnic communication, used by 98% of the population), Latin (also primarily used for inter-ethnic communication as well as in education and church, used fluently by about 20% of the population), Hebrew (spoken primarily by people of full or partial Jewish origin or living in predominantly Jewish neighbourhoods, roughly 25% of the population speak natively) and Arabic (spoken by the local Muslim communities and those living in Arab or North African areas, roughly 30% speak some form of Arabic natively and another 30% as a second or third language.)

Most educated people in Kahanistan speak two or three languages, generally English and one or two other official languages or one other official language and a non-official language, often the language of their heritage among the large immigrant communities. Since public education is free up to the Ph.D. level most people in Kahanistan have some level of university education and roughly 10% of the population have doctoral degrees. The most commonly spoken non-official languages are Western European languages but there are also communities numbering in the tens of millions of speakers of African and Asian languages.

The official language of Aikoland is Aikoese, however it is used primarily as a government communication language and, while taught in schools, isn't commonly used by the general population.

The national languages of Aikoland are Japanese, Korean, and Standard Chinese. Which is because Aikoland's territory consists of the Japanese archipelago, the Korean peninsula, and Taiwan. (And other islands that were under the control of those nations)
