Housatoners are the primary speakers of the Housatonish language, whose wide use led to it being considered the {{wp|lingua franca}} of the northernmost parts of the former [[Northern Confederation]]. Housatonish is spoken by both mainland Housatoners as well as Unnuaqers. It is spoken primarily in the [[Unnuaq Mission State]] as well. It is similar to the Algosh language but not descended from it, and most scholars believe they instead share a common ancestor. Housatonish is spoken by virtually the entire population of the Housatonic Republic, with [[Julian Ænglish]] used sparingly in diplomatic and business contexts as the new lingua franca of the [[NSTA]]sphere. | |||
