The dominant language in Safiloa, which is spoken natively by about 45% of the population is "Sokhaino", which has five dialects, including Faiakian (fai-yah-kee-an), Rotanian (roh-tah-nee-an), Kuhinian (koo-hin-nee-an), Kankusian (kahn-koo-see-an), and Tosanian (toh-sah-nee-an).
The second most important language is Meiu (may-yoo), spoken natively by about 16% of the population is mostly concentrated in the autonomous region of Maleibidulu-Samberiti. 
Meiu and Sokhaino are both considered to be late arrivals to Safiloa, despite their cultural, religious, economic, and political dominance. It has been claimed - though is still yet to be verified - that some of the native Safiloan tribes hadn't e en yet discovered fire or the wheel, let alone a written language. Despite this, currently all 
About 20% of the population speaks one of the following indigenous languages, which are only provincially (or rarely regionally) significant: Boloñgashi (boh-long-gah-shee), Wodjimbani (woh-jim-bah-nee), Marakuan (mah-rah-koo-wan), Doyanian (doy-yah-nee-an), Wuaikerian (wai-ker-ree-an), Mokotikoan (moh-koh-ti-koh-wan,) Pinonimic (pee-noh-nim-mik), Kibuwengoan (kee-boo-weng-go-wan), Chiwinimic (chee-wee-nee-mik), and Tarantatanian (tah-ran-tah-tay-nee-an).

Pattevere's main spoken and written language has always been Austral. During transition to the current democratic socialist system through the early to mid 20th century, the state declared Austral as the official language of Pattevere in all facets of society.

City names such as Doj Duned and Keit Colim are derived from the dominant faith in the region, Pryfonism, which is more so an animist belief system than a highly organized, centralized religion. It has existed since long before Pattevere was founded in 1806. Tradition has dictated that every new settlement's name is derived from the Pryfon language, regardless of size, up until the present day.

The New Dacians' most used language is Daco-Romanian. It is spoken almost everywhere in the nation, aswell as former colonies. Smaller dialects of Daco-Romanian are as follows:
- Aromanian, spoken in the province of Aromania.
- Istro-Romanian, spoken in the province of Istria.
- Megleno-Romanian, often considered a dialect of Aromanian, holds many communities within Hellenica and Aromania.
- Dalmatian, spoken along the coast of the province of Illyria. This language is often considered the crossroad language between Daco-Romanian and Italian.

The other main/minority languages are:
- Greek, spoken in the province of Hellenica. This language takes up more than 20% of the population!
- Turkish, spoken in a small number of rural areas across Carpathia (aka Rumelia) and Moesia.
- Magyar, spoken in the northeast parts of Carpathia.
- Ukrainian, often considered a Russian dialect.
- Italian, spoken across the Adriatic coast.
- German, as a result of feudal and medieval migrations by Saxons, became a sizeable minority in Transylvania and Pannonia.
- Polish, which has very small communities around the country as a result of migration in both Great Wars.
