Languages

Osynstric and Umbrial are the 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.

Osynstric, as the native language, is the primary language of the Iolanthi government. Public communication and road signage are in Osynstric. Exposure to global pop culture in recent times has given the younger Iolanthi generations an understanding of Goyanean, Santonian, and Syrixian languages. Expatriates usually speak in either Gojan, Santonian, or Suchari, and they seldom rely on Osynstric or Umbrial.

Iolanthe is multilingual. According to a 2018 survey, 51% (1,497,419) can speak Umbrial, 30% (880,834) can speak Scalvian, and 19% (557,862) can speak Santonian.
