The languages of Kasiiralq represent members of four primary language families: [[Maakpauean languages|Maakpauean]], [[Tulipi-Lakup languages|Tulipi-Lakup]], [[kamPatuk]] and [[Shaelic languages|Shaelic]], in addition to two dialect clusters variously considered language isolates or small language families, [[Yucho languages|Yucho]] and [[Vemkha language|Vemkha]].
Despite its relatively low population, Kasiiralq has a high level of linguistic diversity, with speakers from four major language families ([[kamPatuk languages|kamPatuk]], [[Maakpauean languages|Maakpauean]], [[Tulipi-Lakup languages|Tulipi-Lakup]] and [[Shaelic languages|Shaelic]]) and a further 3 smaller dialect clusters variously considered small language families or language isolates ([[Hemminorak languages|Hemminorak]], [[Yucho langauges|Yucho]] and [[Vemkha language|Vemkha]]).


The country has four official languages: [[Kasiirala]], [[Tulipik]], [[Yucho]] and [[Patuk]], each representing one of the four major ethnic groups that founded the nation and who collectively make up almost 70% of the population. While each of these languages are equal under the law, with all official documents and national treaties translated into each of the four languages, Kasiirala remains the principal language for inter-ethnic communication, as well as official and international affairs. Kasiirala, a standardised form of the Itsivqutki language, is a [[Maakpauean language]] closely related to [[Achiyitqan]] and [[Siyatsiluq]]. It is the native language of the [[Itsivqutki people|Itsivqutki ethnic group]] who represent approximately 17-18% of the population, although up to 70% of the population are able to understand it. Its use as a lingua franca emerged before the foundation of Kasiiralq, primarily due to the role of the Itsivqutki people in facilitating trade across the Bay of Kasiiralq. The largest language by native speakers alone is [[Tulipik]], a member of the small Tulipi-Lakup family, which is primarily spoken on the south and west coasts of the Nequmlug peninsula. Various [[kamPatuk languages|kamPatuk]] languages are spoken by members of the Vodholk species, primarily concentrated to the east coast of Nequmlug or to the inland regions; by far the largest of these is [[Patuk language|Patuk]]. [[Yucho languages|Yucho]] is primarily spoken in the [[Yaru Islands]] province, with the exception of [[Enyet Yucho]] spoken by a few hundred speakers on the mainland.  
The four official spoken languages of Kasiiralq are [[Kasiirala language|Kasiirala]], [[Patuk language|Patuk]], [[Tulipik language|Tulipik]] and [[Standard Yucho language|Yucho]], each representing one of the four major ethnic groups that founded the nation. These are all considered equal under the law, with all official documents, laws and national treaties translated into each language. However, for the sake of inter-ethnic communication, Kasiirala is the most widely used. Kasiirala, a [[Maakpauean languages|Maakpauean language]], is a standardised form of [[Itsivqutki language|Itsivqutki]], a language which had already seen wide adoption as a trade language pre-unification. Despite being the first language of only 13-14% of the population, it is understood by as much as 70%. Other Maakpauean languages include [[Siyatsiluq language|Siyatsiluq]].
 
The largest language by native speakers alone is Tulipik, a member of the [[Tulipi-Lakup languages|Tulipi-Lakup]] family, which is primarily spoken on the south and west coasts of the [[Nequmlug peninsula]]. It is closely related to the other [[Tulipian languages]] Tagchug, Tawchu and Wetqakwik, with which it forms a dialect continuum. These four languages are much more distantly related to the two remaining [[Lakup languages|Lakup]] languages.
Spoken thoughout the country mainly by members of the [[Vodholk|vodholk]] species are the many [[kamPatuk languages]], the largest of which is Patuk. Despite being primarily spoken by vodholk, in recent years some human settlements have seen a linguistic shift in favour of Patuk.
The [[Yucho languages]] are concentrated in the southwest, with the three largest dialects ([[Hirachir]], [[Nirewo]] and [[Tuskurasu]]) being confined to the Yaru Islands province. On the mainland exist a small number of speakers of the divergent [[Enyet Yucho]] dialect.
 
Other spoken languages include the [[Cheshog languages]] ([[Anchish]], [[Honchesh]], [[Xanchits]] and [[Amchap-Amchawk]]), which represent the only non-Milevic members of the [[Shaelic languages|Shaelic]] language family spoken on the Mirarian mainland; [[Fotolk language|Fotolk]], the last surviving member of the [[Hemminorak languages|Hemminorak]] family; and the language isolate [[Vemkha language|Vemkha]], spoken on the southwestern coast towards the border with Fazulavaz.


Other spoken languages include [[Vemkha language|Vemkha]], a language isolate; the remaining [[Tulipian languages]] [[Tagchug language|Tagchug]], [[Tawchu language|Tawchu]] and [[Wetqakwik language|Wetqakwik]], as well as their distant relatives, the [[Lakup language|Lakup languages]]; several smaller Maakpauean languages, including [[Siyatsiluq language|Siyatsiluq]]; the [[Cheshok languagages]], the only non-[[Milevic languages|Milevic]] members of the [[Shaelic languages|Shaelic family]] spoken on mainland Miraria; and numerous other [[KamPatuk languages]] such as [[Tunguku language|Tunguku]] and [[mPaku language|mPaku]].

Demographics

Ethnic groups

The population of Kasiiralq, while extremely sparsely populated, is also extremely diverse, with around fifteen human and numerous vodholk ethno-linguistic groups represented in the country; as a consequence, the nation has a complex and somewhat diverse social structure.

The species composition in the country is approximately 76% human and 24% vodholk. The largest overall group are the human Tulipik accounting for almost 22% of the country's population. The second largest are the Yucho people of the Yaru Islands, who make up around 19%. The next largest groups are the Maakpauean Itsivqutki and the vodholk Patuk, who represent 13.7% and 12.9% of the popuatlion respectively.

Several smaller ethnic groups also exist, the largest of which are the Tagchug

Urbanisation

Language

Despite its relatively low population, Kasiiralq has a high level of linguistic diversity, with speakers from four major language families (kamPatuk, Maakpauean, Tulipi-Lakup and Shaelic) and a further 3 smaller dialect clusters variously considered small language families or language isolates (Hemminorak, Yucho and Vemkha).

The four official spoken languages of Kasiiralq are Kasiirala, Patuk, Tulipik and Yucho, each representing one of the four major ethnic groups that founded the nation. These are all considered equal under the law, with all official documents, laws and national treaties translated into each language. However, for the sake of inter-ethnic communication, Kasiirala is the most widely used. Kasiirala, a Maakpauean language, is a standardised form of Itsivqutki, a language which had already seen wide adoption as a trade language pre-unification. Despite being the first language of only 13-14% of the population, it is understood by as much as 70%. Other Maakpauean languages include Siyatsiluq.

The largest language by native speakers alone is Tulipik, a member of the Tulipi-Lakup family, which is primarily spoken on the south and west coasts of the Nequmlug peninsula. It is closely related to the other Tulipian languages Tagchug, Tawchu and Wetqakwik, with which it forms a dialect continuum. These four languages are much more distantly related to the two remaining Lakup languages. Spoken thoughout the country mainly by members of the vodholk species are the many kamPatuk languages, the largest of which is Patuk. Despite being primarily spoken by vodholk, in recent years some human settlements have seen a linguistic shift in favour of Patuk. The Yucho languages are concentrated in the southwest, with the three largest dialects (Hirachir, Nirewo and Tuskurasu) being confined to the Yaru Islands province. On the mainland exist a small number of speakers of the divergent Enyet Yucho dialect.

Other spoken languages include the Cheshog languages (Anchish, Honchesh, Xanchits and Amchap-Amchawk), which represent the only non-Milevic members of the Shaelic language family spoken on the Mirarian mainland; Fotolk, the last surviving member of the Hemminorak family; and the language isolate Vemkha, spoken on the southwestern coast towards the border with Fazulavaz.
