There is no official languages in Yichuan, but the two most dominant ones are Yichuanese and Jangbaekan.

Yichuanese (Essentially Chinese) is the most common out of the two. Dialects vary from province to province, with each one having its unique dialect. Jinniu'er and Mianyang Yichuanese (Cantonese and Sichuanese respectively) are the most unintelligible out of the dialects, not only due to the proximity to other groups such as the Dai and Jangbaekan peoples, but because of their relative isolation (Jinniu is isolated by mountains, while Mianyang is mountainous.) Standard Yichuanese is based upon the Liuqiu dialect, and has been the lingua franca of Yichuan since the second imperial era. Yichuanese (as a first language) is spoken by about 63% of the population.

Jangbaekan (Korean) is spoken by the ethnic Jangbaekan people, based in the Jangbaek (or Changbai, in Yichuanese) Plateau. It is spoken by about 27% of the population as a first language, and has three dialects: Hanyang (Seoul/Gyeonggi), and Northern and Southern Jangbaekan. Hanyang has the most speakers, taking up just under half of native speakers. It is based in and around Hanyang, the largest city in Jangbaek, and borrows heavily from Mianyang Yichuanese. Northern Jangbaekan tends to borrow words from the Eastern Yichuanese dialects, and is based in the city of Seosan. Southern Jangbaekan is the "purest" form of Jangbaekan, given its distance away from the various Yichuanese dialects. It is based in Taebaek.

The remaining 10% are made up of native Dai peoples (Tai-Kradai peoples) as well as immigrants from all over the world.

The Official languages of the Sveletic Republic are French, German, Latin, and Sveletsch. French is mostly spoken in the west, primarily Sauvony, while German in the east. Latin is ceremonial and Sveletsch is nearly extinct. Dialectically, the version of French commonly spoken is Sauvon French, while some rural areas speak a more localized dialect of German but book German is taught in schools. Sauvon French is more lose with grammar rules, utilizes older slang terms, as well as has a more Dutch pronunciation of "H", "O", and "U".

Sveletsch:

In the Kingdom of Big Carencia a dialect of Spanish is spoken, because the first colonizers speak that language. Later, when the pirates arrived, different languages were introduced, although most of them English. During the 300 years of government, these different languages greatly affected the predominant language, causing deformations. Creating this dialect that is spoken in The Kingdom of Big Carencia. The name of the dialect is Españesco.

We have three official languages which are English, French, and German. Recognized regional languages include Alban French, which is influenced by Burgundian, Breton French, and Gascogne French, Echidian which is mainly spoken in Angel Island, and Mobian, a Germanic language found in some rural areas of Voxia and Valio. There's a dialect known as Espanglish, which is English, but has heavy Spanish influences which is mainly found in southern Mobius.

In Costa Azurica, its official languages are Azurican and English.

Azurican (Bahasa Asriqana / बाहासा अस्रिकाना) is one of Costa Azurica's official languages alongside English (despite the fact that the official use of the English language was implemented by the Nickelodeon Associated States before the nation was proclaimed). A mix of Indonesian, Hindi, and Portuguese languages, Azurican became the world's most widely spoken language since the majority of the Azurican population speak Azurican. The language is written in both Latin and Devanagari scripts.

Basic Azurican Words/Phrases:
ओला - Ola - Hello
नोमे सोइ ... - Nome soi ... - My name is ...
नोमे मु सापा? - Nome mu sapa? - What is your name?
अपा काबाहारा? - Apa qabahara? - How are you?
तेरिमाकासि - Terimaqasi - Thank you
सान बार्तिमु अन्दा - San bartimu anda - Nice to meet you
अदिउस - Adius - Goodbye
दिस्कुल्पे - Disqulpe - Excuse me
इा / तदुक - Ia / Taduq - Yes / No
