Languages
Iolanic, Osynstric, and Umbrial are co-official languages of Iolanthe. However, despite their equal status, Umbrial is no longer offered as a basic subject in the national curriculum. Since 1950, under the Official Languages Act, Umbrial is only acknowledged as an "optional language of our Suavidci heritage." It is only taught in specific schools, mostly private institutions. Iolanic is the primary language of Iolanthi everyday life and Osynstric is the secondary language. Official government business use Iolanic and Osynstric as spoken languages. Iolanic and Umbrial are the written languages. But public announcements and road signage are in Iolanic, Osynstric, and Umbrial. Advertisers also use all three.
The Iolanic language has its own writing script, the Luceline script, based on the Umbrial and Szlavic scripts:
