''What language or languages do your country's people use? Are there any previously used languages no longer common? Are these languages native to your country or shared with another?''
The only official language of Olmeria is [[Cordish]], which is spoken by over 96% of the population (89% fluently) and the accepted language for all official proceedings, education, road signs, and more.

Regionally recognised languages are [[Sköldish]], a harsh northern tongue spoken in rural mountain communities and those on the icy northern plains, and [[Fhasen]], a widely spoken northern [[Levantia|Levantian]] language, common in the southern regions due to years of trading with northern Levantia.

Following of Islam is also abundant in recent migrant communities from further afield.

''What do your people believe? Rather than demographics, as above, think about how important religion is to your people and their view about their own and other religions.
