Do all official languages have equal status under the law? Officially yes, but in practice, English and Japanese are considered to have priority over Russian.
Are products sold in your nation required to have information displayed in all official languages? Again, yes, but this is rarely enforced and most products only have information displayed in English.

Languages in Wiewawoe

Postby Wiewawoe » Mon Feb 20, 2017 4:43 am

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
How many official languages does your nation have? 3
What are these languages? Ancient Wiewawoeian (AW), Cultured Wiewawoeian (CW), and Wiewawoeian English (WE)
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently? Everyone who has gone to school speaks all three fluently. Young children, slaves and other illiterate people usually speak either WE or CW, depending on what their parents spoke best or which is most commonly spoken in the area they live. Some of them also speak AW, because all words from AW are still used in CW and WE.
THE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS ARE ONLY IF YOUR NATION HAS SEVERAL OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
What is the percentage of the population that speaks each language WITHOUT being able to speak another official language? If I exclude people who do speak two or three official languages, but not quite fluently, that leaves 4% who speak only WE (mostly slaves, immigrants and young children), 0.5% who speak only CW (this is so small because CW is a more elaborate version of AW, so most CW speakers speak both), and 0.2% who speak only AW (mostly elderly language purists).
Do all official languages have equal status under the law? AW is often seen as the "highest" language, but also the most impractical, so important documents, most books, etcetera, should be written in CW or WE.
Are products sold in your nation required to have information displayed in all official languages? No, and most products are sold without any information at all.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
What are the most common foreign languages spoken in your nation? Tannian
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently? About 1%.
What percentage of the population only speaks these languages WITHOUT being able to speak an official language? A little less than 0.1%.
How easy/difficult is it for foreign language speakers to get assistance in their native language? Very difficult, because it is illegal to speak foreign languages in Wiewawoe. However, it is still easier to get assistance in Tannian than in a different foreign language.
Can products be sold with information in a foreign language? No.

LANGUAGE EDUCATION
If you have multiple official languages, are all taught in schools? Yes.
Continuing from the above question, is education predominantly in one or several languages? In Wie and Wa (the two largest cities/towns), education is predominantly in WE. In Woe (the third-largest city/town), education is predominantly in CW. In the smaller villages, it varies, but most of their schools teach in CW.
Are foreign languages taught in schools? No.
What are the most commonly taught foreign languages? Tannian, but it is rarely taught, and not in schools, and it is usually only allowed to be taught to merchants who trade with the country of Tannix. Some other foreign languages are occasionally taught illegally by the Ytera movement.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
How many official languages does your nation have?
There are five official languages.
What are these languages?
Low Prut, Hesperian, Raionese, Veleslav, and Arfolan.
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently?
Low Prut ~ +80% / Hesperian ~ 45% / Raionese ~ 11% / Veleslav ~35% / Arfolan ~ 4%
THE NEXT THREE QUESTIONS ARE ONLY IF YOUR NATION HAS SEVERAL OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
What is the percentage of the population that speaks each language WITHOUT being able to speak another official language?
~ 1-2% for each language; in most cases these are exceptionally old and/or isolated residents. A notable exception are native Arfolan speakers, which has around +10% of Arfolan-only speakers, a vast majority of which are semi-pastoral and isolated mountain-folk.
Do all official languages have equal status under the law?
Yes. Low Prut, however, is the only official relay language. It is also de facto the preferred diplomatic language for the DC.
Are products sold in your nation required to have information displayed in all official languages?
Generally yes; exceptions are permissible under certain circumstances, e.g. products intended for limited/local-only consumption, custom works, and so forth.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
What are the most common foreign languages spoken in your nation?
There's no clear majority, preference, or plurality; it's mostly the languages of neighbouring communities and various international languages of convenience.
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently?
~ 22%
What percentage of the population only speaks these languages WITHOUT being able to speak an official language?
Less than 1%
How easy/difficult is it for foreign language speakers to get assistance in their native language?
Depends entirely on the language in question. In example, it's relatively easy for the local Kaitjanese minority and Kaitjanese guest workers to find assistance in their language, but it would be quite difficult for extraregional visitors.
Can products be sold with information in a foreign language?
Yes

LANGUAGE EDUCATION
If you have multiple official languages, are all taught in schools?
Learning at least one other official language is a requirement for passing secondary education. You need to learn two other official languages to graduate any sort of tertiary education. Hence all official languages are taught on all levels of education.
Continuing from the above question, is education predominantly in one or several languages?
Institutionally not; native Low Prut-speakers enjoy a demographic plurality (at around 48% of the population) so technically Low Prut would be the most commonly spoken official language and hence the most widespread. However, all public institutions use their local official language as the working language, with frequently Low Prut being a language of convenience for visitors from other language-areas. There's also a certain trend in higher education, where some fields show a discrimination towards certain languages, e.g. it's commonly believed that Veleslav universities are best in the fields of medicine, so quite a few prospective physicians learn Veleslav and prefer to study there.
Are foreign languages taught in schools?
Yes.
What are the most commonly taught foreign languages?
There's no clear majority, preference, or plurality; it's mostly the languages of neighbouring communities and various international languages of convenience.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
How many official languages does your nation have? Only one on the federal level, more on the state level.
What are these languages? Kiravic Coscivian
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently? 67.2%

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
What are the most common foreign languages spoken in your nation? Modern Ixnay Latin, Azikorian, Ábciwidar, Greek

How easy/difficult is it for foreign language speakers to get assistance in their native language? Rather difficult in major port cities, nigh-impossible elsewhere.
Can products be sold with information in a foreign language? Yes

LANGUAGE EDUCATION
If you have multiple official languages, are all taught in schools? States that have multiple official languages typically do teach all of them in schools, but may not teach all official languages in all schools. For example, in Kastera State, Gaelic is only mandatory in counties with a Gaelic-speaking population of 40% or more. In Meridia State, the language of instruction corresponds to the designated official languages of the municipality (unilingual Coscivian, bilingual, unilingual Fennomeridian), but Coscivian-speaking students are required to study Fennomeridian as a second language and vice-versa. In the Sydona Islands and New Ardmore, where Kiravic is co-official with Austral Coscivian and Gaelic respectively, Kiravic is neither the language of instruction nor a mandatory course of study, but most students study it in intermediate and secondary school. In the Governorate of Ibykia, Kiravic is the sole official language but the vast majority of schools teach only in Ibikho.
Continuing from the above question, is education predominantly in one or several languages? Primary and intermediate education is predominantly in Kiravic Coscivian, secondary education is predominantly in Kiravic Coscivian, but usually includes a great deal of High Coscivian. University education is predominantly in High Coscivian, though business and technical courses are increasingly taught in Kiravic.
Are foreign languages taught in schools? Yes, but the quality of instruction and the amount of time devoted to them varies widely.
What are the most commonly taught foreign languages? Ixnayan Latin, Ábciwidar, Azikorian, English, Greek, Kronatan, Arkik
