As a reflection of Canpei's ethnic makeup, there are various languages that are in use among the population. The constitution of the country specifies two languages as the official ones: the Liang language, which is recognized by most scholars as a dialect of [[Daxia]]n and is mostly mutually intelligible with said language; [[Daxia]]n scholars call the Liang dialect 'Northern [[Daxia]]n'. The second official language is of course, [[Daxia]]n itself which is spoken by the [[Daxia]]n minority and a great many Tiao people. One of the characteristics that sets the two dialects apart is Liang's greater user of [[Degei Confederation|Xingkai]] loanwords. As for unrecognized languages or with regional status at best, the language of the [[Degei Confederation|Xingkai]] has recognition in 3 provinces, [[Rusana|Rusani]] is not recognized but is a lingua franca of the Muslim community. | |||

Canpei's traditionnal clothing is the Zongbu (聪布), a long sleeve, colorful dress made of silk dating from the late Liang Civilization period. It is heavily inspired by 2nd century court garments. The many layers of light and loose fiting fabrics were meant to invoke the fluidity of water and air, while keeping the wearer's modesty. A tradionnal Zongbu always include a cross collar, a right-side lapel, a waist sash and ample sleeves. Modern variants often worn during festivals or special events often only have only one to three layers of clothing and can include some modest amount of cleavage, but more expensive and highly tradionnal ones can be made up of as many as 16 layers of fabrics of vibrants colors and complex embroideries. They come in a variety of style and colors, leaving a lot of room for self-expression. It is not uncommon for couple to match their zongbu's color or to choose a smiliar motif. Floral and astral patterns are especially common and viewed as lucky and more desirable.

Blue, black, red and white are the traditional colors of this type of dress and will often be a prominent part of the overall design, thought having a monochromatic white zongbu is considered extremely unlucky since the dead are dressed fully in white when cremated. | ||
