The question of a {{wp|national language}} is divisive within the Congress. A plurality and perhaps majority favour [[High Coscivian]] as a transethnic, National literary language, but disagree as to which of the language's several registers is most appropriate. The largest minority camp wish to formalise [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Standard Kiravic]] as the national language, arguing that it already holds this status ''de facto''. Congress members from natively Kiravic-speaking backgrounds mostly detest Standard Kiravic and prefer [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Literary Kiravic]]. Some Congress members believe that a common national ''spoken'' language is necessary, while others do not. | The question of a {{wp|national language}} is divisive within the intellectual wing of the Congress. A plurality and perhaps majority favour [[High Coscivian]] as a transethnic, National literary language, but disagree as to which of the language's several registers is most appropriate. The largest minority camp wish to formalise [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Standard Kiravic]] as the national language, arguing that it already holds this status ''de facto''. Congress members from natively Kiravic-speaking backgrounds mostly detest Standard Kiravic and prefer [[Kiravic_Coscivian#Written_Registers|Literary Kiravic]]. Some Congress members believe that a common national ''spoken'' language is necessary, while others do not. In more recent decades this age-old debate has become viewed as academic and intramural, irrelevant to the caucus' working-class base, who are often monolingual in an ethnic or regional vernacular. In 2011 AD, Chairman [[Kovetskur Aroĥin]] laid down a {{wp|gag rule}} banning the topic from [[Federal_Stanora#Weekly_Schedule|weekly caucus lunch meetings]] and declaring the position of the CNC ''in legislature'' to be "the [[Language in Kiravia|multilingual status quo]] and supporting the development of all Coscivian languages". | ||
Notwithstanding these internal debates, the CNC are unanimous in their support for Coscivian {{wp|linguistic purism}} in the scientific, technical, and contemporary cultural vocabulary of the Coscivian languages, and back programmes sponsored by the [[Kiravian Cultural Executive|Culture, Heritage, and Civil Society Executive]] to supply such vocabulary through {{wp|neologism}}, {{wp|calque}}, and lexical {{wp|Outsourcing#Insourcing|insourcing}}.<ref>This practice is known in Std. Kiravic as ''ronaliyēdvadutrakursa'' or in Lit. Kiravic as ''dutrakursa ronaliyēdvá'', meaning "linguistic {{wp|import substitution}}".</ref> This is seen as crucial for maintaining a distinct [[Coscivian modernism|Coscivian modernity]] and preventing an ascendancy of Japhetic loanwords. | |||
In trade policy, the CNC has pushed for the [[Kiravian Industrial-Commercial Executive|Industry & Commerce Executive]] to set and enforce high standards for Coscivian {{wp|Language localisation|localisation}} in imported goods and services, not only to protect tha culture, but also to preserve an advantage for domestic businesses. | |||
Coscivian Nationalists are opposed to the expansion of [[Ænglish language]] education in public schools, and suggest diverting funding from Ænglish and [[Latin language|Latin]] education toward non-Japhetic languages like [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]], [[Paulastran language|Paulastran]], and [[Cape Coscivian]] instead. | Coscivian Nationalists are opposed to the expansion of [[Ænglish language]] education in public schools, and suggest diverting funding from Ænglish and [[Latin language|Latin]] education toward non-Japhetic languages like [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]], [[Paulastran language|Paulastran]], and [[Cape Coscivian]] instead. | ||
