The everyday language of Bérasar is ''Bāsahrona'', a dialect of [[Kiravic Coscivian]] that forms the core of the Fariva Kiravic dialect spoken in the surrounding state. Written Kiravic usage in the Bérasar metropolitan area tends to follow the "Edskover Consensus", a group of conventions and style guides developed at Farivan universities and teaching colleges in the early decades following the Republican Revolution, and thus has noticeable differences from written Kiravic in other parts of the country that are more influenced by Valēkan or Southern conventions.
The most commonly spoken languages in Bérasar are Taństan Coscivian, Kiravic Coscivian, and Gaelic. Taństan is the "native" language of the city and official language of the state, and the prevailing language in its suburbs and surrounding [[Peri-urbanisation|periurban mosaïc]]. Native speakers of Taństan are concentrated in the northern and western neighbourhoods.


32% of Bérasar residents reported Kiravic as their only mother tongue, while an additional 26% report themselves as natively multilingual in Kiravic and one or more other languages. The most common native language after Kiravic is Gaelic (mostly Fiannrian-Kiravians, native Kiravian Gaels, and [[Féinem]]), followed by Kostiatem Coscivian, Lebhan, Cālatem Coscivian, and Latin. Most educated Coscivian residents of Bérasar are Kiravic-speaking, literate in High Coscivian, and conversational in either Lebhan, Levantine Latin, or both.
Kiravic is... It is the preferred language for inter-ethnic communication over Taństan, and the leading Kiravian language acquired by immigrants who settle in Bérasar. Native speakers are concentrated in the central and upper-western areas of the city.


Use of Levantine languages in commercial and public service settings is very common in Bérasar. Most directional signage in core areas of the city is printed in both Kiravic and Latin, and most police officers have at least a rudimentary understanding of Latin and/or Lebhan. Many downtown restaurants have bi- or trilingual menus, and electoral ballots in the city are available in Gaelic, Latin, Lebhan, Canaesh, Rexan, and Pretannic. Beginning in 21208, emergency broadcasts in the Bérasar metro area will include information in Urcean English and Fanerian Gothic.
