The federal official language in Cartadania is Cartadanian, and as a result, the language of business, government, and instruction in Lotoa is Cartadanian as well. However, due to the Cultural Retention Act of 1980, Congress has protected and continues to encourage the combined use of the Lotoan language alongside Cartadanian. Approximately 49% of the population has reported speaking Lotoan at home in Lotoa, including those born abroad and born in the metropole.
The most common languages spoken in Milan as of 2022 are:
* 71% [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]]
* 49% {{wp|Samoan|Lotoan}} (bilingual speakers; 18% Lotoan alone)
* 5% [[Stenza]]n
* Other languages less than 1% each

Lotoa is mostly {{wp|irreligious}}, although there is a large {{wp|Christian}} community within the territory as well. Cartadania did not bring missionaries to Lotoa on its trips to the archipelago, and as a result of extremely limited contact with other countries, the religion never garnered a large community. It is beginning to grow in more recent years, but the amount of Lotoans who practice Christianity is still low, about 15% of the population.
