===Languages===

The national language of Takatta Loa is known as Insuo Loa, and is spoken as a native language by almost every citizen of Takatta Loa, although several dialects do exist. However, there are several smaller languages spoken throughout the nation. These tend to be the descendents of the Pre-Loa Polynesian languages spoken by the modern day Non-Loa Polynesians, as well as the language spoken by the Ancestral Loa, who still speak it as a mother tongue. Arabic is the largest second language in Takatta Loa, spoken primarily by Loa Muslims, with around 25 million people speaking Arabic as a second language. There has also been a movement to revive the pre-Loa mainland languages, to limited success. It has mostly gained traction among the Safa Loa and the Highland groups. Old Safa has been adopted as a second language by around 40,000 people and a third language by 160,000 people since revival efforts began in 1995. There are around 1,000 people with Old Safa as a native language. Paiyatulu, a formerly extinct language in the northern highlands, has been the most successful, being adopted by 600,000 people and has been acknowledged as a regional language in the Kanu’aua Region, the first instance of an officially recognized regional language in Takatta Loa. There has also been an effort to revitalize the Polynesian scripts that were in use until around 1830, though this has seen limited success. Only Paiyatulu has implemented a non Loa script due to the presence of multiple phonemes not found in the Loa script

[[Kiravic Coscivian|Coscivian]] is also widely taught in Loa schools, and most Loa have a rudimentary knowledge of Coscivian. It is the largest second language with around 40 million Loa reporting proficiency in Coscivian. However, most Loa don't use it in everyday life, mostly when communicating in business settings with Kiravian or [[Paulastra|Paulastran]] nationals, or when consuming Coscivian media. As such, few Loa can hold a conversation in Coscivian with the majority of Loa who claim proficiency having a limited knowledge learned from social media and schooling.
