The other two largest languages in Metrea are Serradan Coscivian and Kiravic Coscivian. Both languages have official status on par with West Coast Marine Coscivian. Serradan Coscivian is the main language of everyday life in the central valley, especially in rural areas, though Serradan-speaking communities can be found in most cities and large towns outside of traditionally Serradan-speaking regions. Kiravic is spoken as a native language by a large minority of people in and suburban urban areas, as well as in a few smaller towns established during the Silver Rush by migrants from Central, Northern, and Eastern Kirav. As the federal official and ''de facto'' national language, Kiravic is widely understood and nearly all educated Metreans can functionally communicate in the language. The state's Aboriginal languages, including Yutuxno and the isolate Varekthari, are recognised and receive some developmental support from the state government. Varekthari is of significant interest to the disciplines of language preservation/revitalisation and indigenous rights for its speaker community's remarkable success at maintaining relatively high rates of language use and intergenerational transmission despite most speakers living within the predominantly Coscivian Mérosar metropolitan area. | The other two largest languages in Metrea are Serradan Coscivian and Kiravic Coscivian.
