The Constitution allows every citizen to choose which language he wishes to speak in public. Though, it is required by law that every official citizen of Carilia speaks the commoner's official language: Carilian English. Those who are part of the nobility, serve as an officer in the military or are employed by the State(goverment) are required to speak Latin as well, which is the second official language.

The official language of the Principality of Taldara is Taldaran, though English and German are common as well. Taldaran is actually descended from a mixture of German and English, and features several characteristics of both. It is, however, different in numerous ways.

Spelling, for instance. An "ah" sound in Taldaran is represented by a double a. "Acht", German for "eight", is spelled "aacht" in Taldaran, though pronounced similarily.

Kirktonian English is the official language, which follows the same spelling rules as British English, and borrows jargon and terms from several native American Languages, cockney slang, aussie slang, and dixie slang. There are also many minority languages spoken among immigrants.

English is the first language, followed, in theory, by French and German, at equal status. In practice, however, French takes precedence. LAtin used to be the official language of Court (Royal, not Judicial), but since the 1870s, this has been largely replaced by English. Speculation is growing in the Citoyenstadt of Christchurch that the next king may even take an English throne name, rather than a more traditional Latinate one.
