Yakutikov citizens tend to speak Ukrainian, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian or Slovakian, depending on where they live. This came as a result of the Pochaiv Dispute which saw many of the native Ukrainian speakers flee to Ukraine, leaving the minorities in many of the more rural areas as the new majority.
This is mostly in the rural areas and small towns/villages. In the large cities, Ukrainian is still the majority language.
To bridge this divide (no native language is spoken by more than 40% of the population), the government of Yakutikov decided to create a language for all Yakuts, irrelevant of their native language. This is now the only official national language.
The local languages are mostly used in private or in border towns, like the city of Uzhhorod which speaks mostly Slovakian, with a Hungarian minority; or the village of Astei which is 100% Hungarian, by language.

The Yakut language is written in it's own version of the Latin alphabet. It is also possible, but difficult, to write it in Cyrillic, however, because of the limited sounds in the Cyrillic alphabet, Yakut written in Cyrillic is quite complicated and words tend to be necessarily long.

Here is an example of the Yakut language. This is the Presidential Declaration that established the National Broadcasting Service.

OOC: The "Yakut Language" is actually Maltese. In my rp, Malta just speaks Italian.
