Zwitterjiundians speak Neo-Zwitterjiundian which is identical to German. High ranking commisaars, royalty and a very small minority also speak Old-Noravinian, an archaic form of German which features constant rolling Rs and lots growls; it's very hard to learn and only used in traditional ceremonies.

It's estimated that around one billion Zwitterjiundians are fluent in English and or German. the next largest language is Japanese. Zwitterjiundians find it difficult to learn Japanese but it's estimated around one hundred thousand can speak it.

The Earth protectorate is currently phasing out many regional languages as official languages, instead designating regions as being English, German or Japanese.

The Imperium's official language is the Gothic dialect of English, which is spoken with an accent that is almost identical to the stereotypical Russian accent and written in the Imperial Aurek-Besh Alphabet. However, most Imperial citizens speak two languages, due to the fact that many territory-born citizens speak their native languages amongst themselves. As such, the two most popular secondary languages in the Imperium are Korean and Japanese.

The national languages are Low-Saxon and Low-Frankish. Both utilise a special variant of the Latin alphabet in writing. Both vary by dialect because modern natural languages cannot be standardised in Leepaidamba by law.
Examples:
Low-Frankish:
Åpqldoorn is dqn ghrootstqn stad op dq Veelyyvvq in't Leepaidambånsq Canton Veelyyvvq, en dqn derdq stad van Leepaidamba. Åpqldoorn is dqn heufdplåts van dq gheleiknaamighq ghqmeentq, dii 156.355 inwoonqrs telt.
Low-Saxon:

As administrative language classical Latin with revised vocabulary is used.

- Perhaps as many as 2,000 languages are spoken in AU912. Most of those are spoken in immigrant communities, almost all of which are located in either major cities or small towns in more remote areas. The written languages are the same as the home country of the immigrant group.
- The official language of AU912 is English. Over 90% of the population speaks at least broken English. There are many dialects. Most of them are not difficult for a native speaker of American, British, Australian, or Canadian English to understand.
- English is is written as English is on Earth. The most common fonts are Arial and Times New Roman. Spelling is based on American English, with a few exceptions. For example: a "check" is an item on a list; a "checque" is a form of payment; a "metre" is a unit of measure; a "meter" is an electronic device.

English is the primary, Dutch is the secondary. Mainly English, although accents range from a basic America-like one such as what the Administrator has, to a stereotypical mafia accent like the Minister of Economics has.
