They use both their own language and [[High Coscivian]] (usually in its Orthodox or Traditional register) as literary languages, and both are taught rigorously in Valosian private schools. According to the 21200 Kiravian Census, 86% of households with two Valosian parents spoke Valosian Coscivian at home, a much higher retention rate than most major Coscivian ethnic vernaculars. | ||

Their most intense hatred is reserved for the Vexin Coscivians and the [[Eshavian Coscivians]], though they have come to also strongly dislike the [[Kir people|Kir]] and just about anyone else they encounter. Valosians are dismissive of and resentful towards [[Paisonic Coscivians]], as Valosians consider themselves to be the true heirs to the ruling class and traditions of Imperial Coscivia. However, they do share close cultural ties with certain Peninsular subgroups and a common Coscivian Orthodox faith. | ||
