Kiravic Coscivian is an auxiliary official language, and is understood by up to 40% of the population, mostly as a second language. It is common as a first language among the "Mainlander" / "Overseaser" community and is important in the corporate world. Public information is increasingly made available in Kiravic. However, Austral Coscivian remains the dominant language of the Coscivian sector and heavily Cosconised cities, and native Kiravic-speakers living in Sydona must learn at least the rudiments of Austral Coscivian in order to navigate everyday life.
