As a result of these influences, the Latin language spoken in Cartadania and Pelaxia began to evolve into the Romance languages spoken today. Over time, the various dialects of Latin spoken in these regions began to diverge and, by the time of the Third Imperium, had evolved into distinct languages. Cartadanian emerged as the national language following the independence of Cartadania in 1630, in part due to the expansion of colonization into the Cartadanian interior and the increasing numbers of Cartadanian settlers in the west. | As a result of these influences, the Latin language spoken in Cartadania and Pelaxia began to evolve into the Romance languages spoken today.

Throughout the centuries that followed, Cartadanian continued to evolve, reflecting the country's history of colonization, trade, and cultural exchange. Substantial waves of non-Cartadanian-speaking immigrants arrived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly from Aciria, Burgundie, Pelaxia, Urcea, Volonia, the UAE, and Polynesia.

These groups were largely linguistically integrated into the Cartadanian-speaking majority within a few generations, with the exception of some areas in the two northeasternmost states of Cascália and São Andreas, where Urcean, Calinthian, and Ardmorean languages persisted, and in northern Milan, where the Burgoignesc language was spoken, as well as in Lotoa, where the indigenous Lotoan language was still in use. Additionally, in Porta Bianca, the native Taínean language maintained a foothold for quite some time. | ||

* ''Valerian'' – Spoken in the state of [[Triessa]] along the southern coast, particularly around [[Valorica]]. The fusion of Latin, Cartadanian, and southern Levantian linguistic elements has resulted in a unique dialect and lexicon that is distinct to the area. Valorenos tend to speak with a sing-songy type of accent that is primarily unique to southern Triessa. This intonation is known as Valerian Cadence and is an obvious identifier of someone from this area. | * ''Valerian'' – Spoken in the state of [[Triessa]] along the southern coast, particularly around [[Valorica]].
