Ishtaran has six main languages, all closely linguistically related

The language spoken by clergy, most similar to Kazakh.
The language spoken by those close to the surface, somewhere between Kazakh and Uyghur.
The language spoken by the urban clans, most similar to Uzbek.
The language spoken by the nomadic diggers, most similar to Arabic or Coptic.
The language spoken by the singing clans, somewhere between Mongolian and Uyghur.
And the language spoken by those in the deep country, which has developed and branched much further then the other languages, almost Slavic-sounding with just a hint of its Turkic roots.

Our official languages are Ruvian (our official native language) and English (our official trade language.)

Ruvian is the first language learned by almost every child in Ru. (unless they come from a family of foreign ethnicity of course). It is therefore extremely widespread in the empire with almost every non immigrant being able to speak the language proficiently no matter where they live.

English is also very widely known and spoken. Unless in very rural/remote areas, almost every native Ruvian above high school age can speak it proficiently and they prefer it over the native tongue whenever they find themselves speaking with a foreigner, since it is much more likely that both parties will understand each other this way.

There is a smattering of other minority languages spoken in Ru. These are foreign languages spoken by first generation immigrants from other countries.

English and Svori are spoken in Svorbask. Due to heavy Anglo influence, more people speak English in the cities than in the rural areas.

Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and Latin are our official languages, with the former three being the most commonly spoken ones and Latin being primarily reserved for Mass, although there is a slowly growing movement encouraging the usage of Latin in common speech, with some members of the movement wanting it to eventually completely replace Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin as the only spoken language here with others wanting it to just be spoken more.

I've been meaning to make a Galiagol language that combines the languages currently in my nation. Since I'm lazy though, that isn't happening yet...

The official language is Mongolian (86%), with bilingual citizens often mastering Cantonese (44%), Korean (21%), Tibetan (10%), Japanese (6%), and Arabic (3%, roughly coincides with Islamic population). About 6% of the population are native Cantonese speakers, which make up the majority of Chinese languages spoken by natives in Galiagolach (around 8% are various other Chinese languages). Other languages are usually spoken by foreigners, such as English (0.3%), German (0.05%), and Swedish (0.001%).

We also happen to use a wide variety of written scripts as well. Citizens are required to learn Traditional Mongol and Hanzi, while others can go on to Hangul, U-Chan (dbucan) Script, Japanese (most often Kanji with a little Hiragana. Katakana doesn't exist in this universe), Arabic, and Latin.

Our official languages are English, Japanese, and Russian.

English is the most commonly used language here, with 97% of the populace being fluent.

Japanese is also commonly used, with 91% being able to speak it.

Russian, however, isn't widely used. Only about 61% of the population can speak it and over 80% of all Russian speakers in our nation live in Freena Yon, the second smallest administrative division.

Other than our three official languages, another common language spoken here is Korean, which is currently spoken by 19% of the population and is the most common foreign language taught in schools.
