Kiravia is a multilingual nation and a global hotspot for linguistic diversity. Challenging terrain in may parts of the country, ''tuva'', and a decentralised political environment have contributed to the continued vitality of many smaller speech communities. Most living languages native to Great Kirav belong to the Cosco-Adratic or Elutic-Intheric families, though there are a few smaller families of tribal languages and isolates that defy classification. The two most important languages in Kiravia are Kiravic Coscivian and High Coscivian. Kiravic is the language of the Kir people and the prevailing language across most of northern Great Kirav. Due to its large speaker base and widespread use as an inter-ethnic ''lingua franca'', Kiravic has become the working language of the federal government and the main language used in the business world. High Coscivian is the classical language of Coscivian civilisation, with perhaps the longest continuing literary tradition of any language, with original compositions in High Coscivian still being published today. It is a sacred language in several Coscivian religions and the liturgical language of the Coscivian Rite church. Although under pressure from Kiravic in some disciplines, High Coscivian remains the predominant language of higher education and academic discourse, the main language of scientific publications, and a source of {{wp|learned borrowing|learned borrowings}} into other Kiravian languages. Largely replaced by Kiravic and other modern languages for administrative purposes from the late 19th century AD on, High Coscivian is still commonly used in law and the judiciary in many states, and for ceremonial purposes. | Kiravia is a multilingual nation and a global hotspot for linguistic diversity.

One of the key industries in Kiravia is electronics. The country is a major producer of high-tech electronics, such as semiconductors, computer systems, and electro-mechanical components, which are both exported and domestically assembled into a wide range of finished goods, including mainframe and personal computers, electrical appliances, industrial and transport machinery, handheld devices, imaging equipment. This sector has been a driving force behind the country's economic growth and has helped to establish Kiravia as a global player in the global marketplace. The brewing and distilling industry is also a significant part of the economy, with many companies producing a range of high-quality beers, whiskeys, and spirits that are sold both domestically and internationally. | One of the key industries in Kiravia is electronics.
