English (UK) (Official Majority)

Though we have a tendency to drop rubbish words (like quiche), take cool words from other languages (like schadenfreude) and it's totally acceptable to say 'smurf' in lieu of any other smurf.

English is the official language of government in the United States, as well as the de facto language of society. This is widely viewed as a good thing.

Minoa has never codified an official language but English, German and Greek can be considered the most spoken de facto official languages.

To measure literacy, the 2041 census asked inhabitants what is their main language (Q18), how well they can speak one of the major languages (Q19a), and how well how well they write a major language (Q19b).

Le Mars currently has a population capped at roughly ninety million people, though I reserve the right to lift this cap if it should become necessary.
