What language(s) do people in your nation speak in their daily lives and for official business? French is the sole official language of Aikoland and is used for all official business. It is also the dominant language spoken in our nation, with 94% of the population reporting French to be their native language and 98% reporting that they can speak French 'conversationally or better'

Is your nation largely monolingual? Or are people expected to know more than one language? While there is no expectation that Aikolandais be bilingual or multilingual, English education is mandatory for Aikolandais students starting at age 7 and Aikolandais students are also required to take an additional foreign language starting in upper secondary, with the two most common choices being Italian and Spanish.

Which alphabet is used in writing? The Latin alphabet is used.

Does your nation use a constructed language or one from the real world? Real world, as French (allegedly) is a real language.

If it is not English: Can you translate something for the NSistoj? Pourquoi devrais-je faire ça ? (Why should I do this?)

Melrovian is the official language of the principality. It is an Eastern Romance language, and thus is related to Romanian and Moldovan.

What language(s) do people in your nation speak in their daily lives and for official business?
Is your nation largely monolingual? Or are people expected to know more than one language?
Which alphabet is used in writing?

My Nation is built Constitutionally on the premise of no national State: 1 State 2 Nations, as Canada is for example or Switzerland. Catalan is the own language of the 98% of population and Occitan the other 2%. Often Aranese and Fenolledese MPs use Occitan in the Parliament. And, those 2 shires have a high degree of devolution.
Both languages are official nationwide. Then there are the overseas territories that have their local Creole languages with a official status in their territory only. There is also Katalanim, that was used by Jews expelled by the Spanish Inquisition in the XVth century and returned during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. that is mostly used inside the Jewish community and Caló that is used by the gipsy community.
Because many reasons as the openess of our economy as EU members and the great population mobility and migration is censed that in total 300 languages are spoken in our territory. Also for many reasons English, French and Spanish are widely spoken and most people at least will understand you in any of those languages. In general many job demand foreign languages English or French as foreign language.
Also in school English is learnt as first foreign language + a second foreign language of choice.

Does your nation use a constructed language or one from the real world?
Both are romance languages that descend from Latin. They are from the same family as French.

If it is not English: Can you translate something for the NSistoj?

For example in official documents as ID cards, NHS cards, arms licenses or Passports my nation Name figures as: (ct): República Federal de Catalunya, (occ) Repùblica Federala de Catalonha, (fr) République Fédéral de la Catalogne and (en) Federal Republic of Catalonia.

Or the first stanza of my National Anthem:

Cat: Catalunya triomfant,
tornarà a ser rica i plena.
Endarrera aquesta gent,
tant ufana i tant Superba.

Occ: Catalonha triomfant,
tornarà èsser rica e plena.
Endarrièra aquelas gents
amb tan d'ufan e supèrba.

En: Catalonia triumphant
Shall again be rich and abundant.
Drive away these folks
Who are so proud and arrogant.

What language(s) do people in your nation speak in their daily lives and for official business?
    There are several such languages, including Prussian (a Baltic language closely related to Lithuanian), Prussian German, Prussian Polish (also called Masuro-Warmiak, an umbrella term covering two unique dialects of Polish spoken in Prussia), Lithuanian and Latvian. Turkish and Ukrainian are also spoken in some communities. For international business/communication, English is generally used.

Is your nation largely monolingual? Or are people expected to know more than one language?
    Monolingualism is rare in Prussia, as the multilingualism and diversity of individual communities encourages and felicitates the learning and use of a secondary language as an individual grows up. Thus, monolingualism is surprising to most Prussians.

Which alphabet is used in writing?
    Prussia solely uses the Latin script in writing its national languages.

Does your nation use a constructed language or one from the real world?
    All languages present in Prussia are real languages. Prussian is the Old/Baltic Prussian language, which has undergone revival efforts in OTL; in TTL, it never died entirely out.

What language(s) do people in your nation speak in their daily lives and for official business?
Is your nation largely monolingual? Or are people expected to know more than one language?

Official languages of The Republic of Covelandia

Do people speak more then one language?

Yes people in Covelandia tend to speak 2 languages these are, Covelandian English and North leventine Arabic

Which alphabet is used in writing?

Its usally Covelandian english, this is because its simpler then both languages.

Does your nation use a constructed language or one from the real world?

Constructed alike real-world languages, Covelandian English, suggested by its name, is a alternative english made too be simpler.

If it is not English: Can you translate something for the NSistoj?

In Covelandian, 'alike' is spelt 'qlike' the Only diffrences is that in Covelandian English 'a' is spelt like 'q' and the actuall letter 'q' is non-existent, other things that differentiates the American and British english from Covelandian English is that we use syllabus to match with there sound so 'a' or 'ar' would be just a short 'a' this obiviosly makes some words sound 'slivery.'

Valencian is my official language, people is expected to know at least Valencian when finish their schoolarship. At school Valencian and English. are learnt + a 2nd foreign language. We use Latin alphabet.
Because of immigration and economy many languages are spoken in my country.

Does your nation use a constructed language or one from the real world? Is a real world language or a series of dialects of real language. La Acadèmia de la Llengua Valenciana works together with The IEC for the coordination with the IEC on ortography, grammar, mutual validation of filology degrees and cultural promotion alongside Institute Ramon Llull and a open media corridor with our neighbouring nations as RTVV can Be seen north and east, TVC, ATV and TVIB can be seen in my country and We work in developing formats with together with those channels. Though we appreaciate our own linguistic variants used in the País Valencià. Also We have the Valenciano or Levantino as the own language of our interior counties.

Trennish is the primary language for official use in Trennland; schoolchildren are taught a standardized form of it, and all official documents and signage must include a Trennish version. Additionally, a number of minority languages and dialects are recognized, such as Alari; signs and documents in local areas may include writing in these languages alongside Trennish.
