Suderavian Coscivian is a {{wp|post-creole}} language that developed in parallel with Kiravic Coscivian and is characterised by base derived from northwest Kórsan dialects, with extensive inheritance from North Coscivian, Taństan Coscivian, Kelnordan Coscivian, and other settler languages, as well as influences from Gaelic, Burgittan (and other Burgy langs) and Covine. The modern written language emulates Literary Kiravic in its style and has directly borrowed many words from it, especially since liberation. | Suderavian Coscivian is a {{wp|post-creole}} language that developed in parallel with Kiravic Coscivian and is characterised by base derived from northwest Kórsan dialects, with extensive inheritance from North Coscivian, Taństan Coscivian, Kelnordan Coscivian, and other settler languages, as well as influences from Gaelic, Burgittan (and other Burgy langs) and Covine.

Over a third of the population speak Suderavian Coscivian as their native language, over a third speak Covine as their native language, and 11% speak Skithanawite as their native language | Over a third of the population speak Suderavian Coscivian as their native language, over a third speak Covine as their native language, and 11% speak Skithanawite as their native language. A series of observational studies conducted by the University of Duniver found that it is still common for urban adult Coscivians in Suderavia to speak Covine with other Coscivians, and even more common to employ various forms of code-switching between Coscivian and Covine. The same studies concluded that use of Covine by Coscivians has almost entirely disappeared from rural and mountain areas, while its use in urban areas has declined much more gradually. | ||
Kiravic Coscivian is taught in secondary schools and spoken by many transplants from other Kiravian states, as well as in many business settings. It has official recognition from the state, and the state government will accept and process documents filed in Kiravic. | |||
