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? The Federal Census does not collect information of this nature, as stated above; however, bilingualism (if not trilingualism) in the official languages is almost ubiquitous.
Do all official languages have equal status under the law? Yes.
Are products sold in your nation required to have information displayed in all official languages? No, but products often contain information displayed in at least two of the three languages.

What are the most common foreign languages spoken in your nation? Chinese dialects, Punjabi, and Urdu are the most commonly-spoken non-official languages in the Republic.
What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently? Chinese dialects are spoken by 1.06% of the population as L1, Punjabi is spoken by 0.78% as L1, and Urdu is spoken by 0.66% as L1.

OFFICIAL LANGUAGES
How many official languages does your nation have?
The government of the USSV does not endorse an official language. However, the USSV names two national languages that are taught to all children and associated heavily with Valkhynean citizens.

What are these languages?
Valkhynean and English.

What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently?
93.9% speak Valkhynean and 55.1% speak English fluently. A small percentage of Valkhyneans claim to speak "some English".

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?
Valkhynean: 20.3%
English: 0.6%

Do all official languages have equal status under the law?
Yes, unconditionally.

Are products sold in your nation required to have information displayed in all official languages?
All product information is displayed in Valkhynean and English. Some provinces include mandatory product descriptions in Arabic due to a high concentration of Arab immigrants.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES
What are the most common foreign languages spoken in your nation?
Arabic, French, and Hindustani are the most common foreign languages spoken in Valkhyne, in that order.

What is the percentage of the population that speaks these languages fluently?
Arabic - 18.3%
French - 16.5%
Hindustani - 9.2%

What percentage of the population only speaks these languages WITHOUT being able to speak an official language?
Roughly 5.5%. Though Valkhyne has a large immigrant population, Valkhynean language lessons are offered as state-sanctioned night classes, making it easy to learn.

How easy/difficult is it for foreign language speakers to get assistance in their native language?
Depending on where a foreign language speaker lives, it can be very easy to somewhat difficult. It is less likely for younger Valkhyneans to know a foreign language than older.

Can products be sold with information in a foreign language?
Yes, and this is a common practice in communities heavily populated by immigrants.

LANGUAGE EDUCATION
If you have multiple official languages, are all taught in schools?
Yes; all students start bilingual education at age five, and most students receive introductory Valkhynean and English through subsidized pre-Kindergarten programs around the age of three.

Continuing from the above question, is education predominantly in one or several languages?
Most courses are taught in Valkhynean in primary, secondary, and post-secondary school. Some notable exceptions include post-secondary diplomacy programs, intelligence programs, and military school (English-centered with some emphasis on foreign languages).

Are foreign languages taught in schools?
Yes, and all students are required to take two years of a foreign language. Many opt to take more than their requirement to increase their chances of being accepted into a prestigious university.

What are the most commonly taught foreign languages?
Historically, the most common languages taught have been French and Spanish. Recently, due to a large influx of immigrants from the Arab world, North Africa, and the Indian subcontinent, the most common languages taught have been Arabic, French, Hindustani, Farsi, and Tamil, in that order.
A far-left socialist one-party state that's much more democratic than your seventh grade history teacher taught you!
