Most Al Halatbans speak Arabic from birth. When (or rather if) they enter school, they are taught mostly in English, as required by the colonial government.

Sertian is now the main language of the six islands, but in Precia, the totalitarian regime, only Precia is allowed to be spoken. Actually, nobody knows for sure what language is spoken in Precia because nobody goes in or leaves.

In Ieskarios, Greek is the mother tongue of most of the population. English is a language that is taught widely as a lingua franca to help communicate with other countries and with the various ethnic groups in the country. A regional language, Varanian, is also spoken widely in the eastern part of the country and holds special status in autonomous Varanian communities.

All citizens of the Empire learn Spanish (español). In addition, some provinces have their own language, such as Basque (euskara), Catalan (català) or Galician (galego). Citizens of those provinces learn that language as well.

Amerikaner children learn Amerikaans at home and English at school, Spanish is often learnt as an optional vocation in later education.

Americano children learn Spanish at home but only some manage to learn English by adulthood.

Native children rarely learn any other languages.

This is complicated. It depends on where they are born, and who their parents are. A Nigerian child from a Yoruba family, for example, would learn Yoruba (obviously), English (the official language of Nigeria), and one of the following: Russian, Spanish, German, Arabic, or Brazilian, which are some of the official languages of Universalia. The third language would depend on the preferred language of the school he is enrolled at. Now let's imagine a kid from France, whose father is Czech and whose mother is Vietnamese. Aside from the official language of its state (French) and the foreign languages learned at school (English and one of the other official languages of Universalia), the kid also would learn Czech and Vietnamese, although (s)he may not be that proficient in those two languages.

Every school in the whole world teaches three languages: the local language, English, and one of the official languages of Universalia. Some schools may teach more than one local language.

Kunimese children are first exposed to the regional dialect of their area/village. These dialects are often mutually unintelligible with each other.

Once children enter school, they are taught standard Kunimese. Standard Kunimese is largely based off of the working class accent of Ndogiki, the nation’s capital. It’s the main language of national TV, media and education.

Regarding Kunimese children of indigenous communities, they undergo bilingual schooling in both their native language and Kunimese.

At university, many fields require you to take English courses due to its status as a global lingua franca.

Learning of Languages from Birth
When a human is born within the Menschlicher Sternenstaat, the first languages that they are exposed to will be both the national language of the Human Star State, Stadtverisch, and the native language of the area or the planet (excluding planets like Vera and Vilten, which have Stadtverisch as native languages, or immigrant populations from such systems). Stadtverisch is used in all government applications and interactions, ranging from national registration indices to education and enforced military communications. However, in day-to-day life within a person's native land, descendants of languages such as Finnish, Italian, Swedish, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindu, Arabic, and others exist within distinct communities that one may hail from. The Sternenstaat explicitly approves of the conservation of these languages in the informal sphere as it "adds greater definition to the supremacy of the human cultural experience".

From K-12, Achaean children are required to learn Spanish, which is the official language of instruction in the public education system. However, students are also required to learn a foreign language, which is usually English due to the country's fast-growing tourism sector. Nowadays, it is common for public school students to be somewhat proficient in English by the time they graduate high school.

In some states, students can also learn other foreign languages, such as French, Portuguese, Chinese, and Arabic. Tribal areas also account for heritage speakers, including Tauí and Taíno-Arawak, reconstructed from modern-day Arawak languages in South America.

In the North Sea Federation, children are expected to know their native language, as well as Northarian English and at least one other national language, though knowledge of more is seen as preferable. As an alternative to a third language, a child may select a "historical language," languages that have long since died out in everyday use but have been either preserved or reconstructed. For children who wish to go into church work, it is recommended that they receive an education in Church Norse, a variant of Old Norse that has been preserved by the Reformed Orthodox Church as its "official" language, though services are conducted in the local vernacular for the most part.

National Languages: English, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, Norn, Danish, Sámi, Finnish, Karelian, Scottish Gaelic, Scots, Irish Gaeilge, Canadian Gaelic, German, Welsh, Greenlandic Inuit, Greenlandic Norse, Standard Owlish, Portuguese, Andalusian (Mozarabic)

Historical Languages: Anglo-Saxon, Old West Norse, Old East Norse
Historical Languages under current reconstruction efforts: Common Brythonic, Cumbric, Pictish, Celtiberian

In addition, the North Sea Federation is involved in a Western European Union-wide effort to recover some of the ancient languages such as Gaulish, Etruscan, Iberian, Sicel, Minoan, Lydian, Ostrogothic, and more. These courses are expected to become available to Northarian children as soon as the language restoration efforts are materialised, if they are able to be that is.

In her education, Queen Veia learned both English and her native language, Swedish, and also opted to learn both Standard Owlish and Irish Gaeilge. She speaks just a bit of Church Norse as well. Once reconstruction efforts have progressed enough, she also plans to learn the Gaulish language.

English, with all other languages optional.

Once a child enters Year 7 (generally 11 - 12 years old), they are given the option to study a variety of languages, depending on what their school offers. This continues right through to the end of High School.

The most common second languages (2020 Ministry of Education statistics):
- Japanese
- Mandarin
- German
- Afrikaans
- French
- Spanish
- Russian
- Hindi
- Portugese

Italian is mandatory for children to learn in a very young age as it is the official language. But in Highschool, each school would have the right if they want to have a curriculum for students to learn foreign languages or not.

Tyvertsian. Maybe Drevelian if they live in certain parts of the Vednik region or Lautrizaren if they live in Anzia, but you won't get far in Tyvertsia if you can't speak the national language. Schools often stress an importance on teaching Old Drevelian, in fact, since it is the common ancestor of both Tyvertsian and Drevelian and makes it easier to communicate between them.
A dialect of Old Drevelian is still spoken on the island of Udymichia.
