There are three main literary registers of Kiravic. While all are mutually intelligible, they differ substantially in vocabulary, lexico-morphological rules, orthography, and style.


*'''Literary Kiravic''' or '''Nohæric''' is the register of Kiravic that developed from the conventions established by the earliest schools of rhetoric to begin teaching rhetoric in Kiravic in addition to Iatic during the Confederate Republics period. Today, Nohæric remains the register of prestige, and is used in most long-form prose literature, newspapers, most middle-to-high-brow magazines, and polished correspondence. In states the core Kiravic-speaking areas of Great Kirav, Nohæric is usually the register taught in schools, while in areas where other regional languages predominate Standard Kiravic is generally preferred in pedagogy.
*'''Literary Kiravic''' (Kiravic: ''Vénakirrona'') or '''Nohæric''' emerged from conventions established during [time period] by traditional rhetorical schools in the Kir lands when they began teaching rhetoric in the vernacular instead of solely in High Coscivian, and went on to evolve organically with the flowering of Kiravic literary culture. Nohæric is the {{wp|Prestige (sociolinguistics)|register of prestige}}, and is used in the majority of long-form literature, most newspapers and middle-to-high-brow magazines, and polished correspondence.  
   
   
*'''Standard Kiravic''' (Kiravic: ''Oskandikiravirona''), also known as ''tèlúverþarona'' ("schoolbook language") is the register of Kiravic that developed from standards laid out in the ''Verþa Danneoskandiskya'' ("Book of Lesson Standards"), a set of guidelines for primary-school Kiravic instruction produced by the Kirosocialist government. Standard Kiravic makes more use of...than Nohæric... Written materials produced by the Federal government for public consumption tend to adhere to Standard Kiravic conventions, as do the vast majority of business and trade documents. In states where Kiravic is not the majority language Standard Kiravic is usually the register taught in schools, while in natively Kiravic-speaking areas Nohæric is generally preferred in pedagogy.
*'''Standard Kiravic''' (Kiravic: ''Oskandikiravirona''), also known as ''teléuverþarona'' ("schoolbook language") was developed by the [[Kiravian Union]] Directorate of Education to promote the adoption of Kiravic as the unified national language in accordance with the programme of the Kirosocialist Party. It was the result of reforms intended to rationalise, modernise, and simplify the language in order to facilitate its acquisition by non-native speakers, and also to "proletarianise" the written language to make it more accessible to the masses...


*'''High Kiravic''' (Kiravic: ''Iĥtikiravirona'') is a conservative form of Kiravic that deviates as little as possible from the Kiravian dialect of Common Iatic used during the colonial period and is replete with lexical and stylistic borrowings from older and higher forms of Iatic. While it is the least commonly used of the three main registers, High Kiravic is encountered in many of Kiravia's greatest literary works, a growing number of higher-brow periodicals, and in some recent works of popular nonfiction (especially on historical or political topics). The language of legal documents and proceedings most closely resembles High Kiravic, earning it the informal appellation ''áldarona'' ("legalese").

There are several minor literary registers used among smaller communities, most of which adhere to style guides published by a particular literary society, university, or other institution. Today, it is often difficult to definitively say that a particular document is written in one register or another, though it is usually easy to identify which register's conventions it leans more toward.
