Tierrador has two ''[[w:De facto|de facto]]'' official languages standardized by [[Tierradorian nationality law|its nationality law and naturalization process]]: [[Qabóri language|Qabóri]], and [[w:Southern American English|Terra Ænglish]], a Tierradorian regional dialect of [[Ænglish]]. Despite this, there are several languages spoken throughout different regions of the country. Most of these languages are Abio indigenous languages, including [[Youkafee language|Youkafee]] and [[Tauçan language|Tauçan]].

[[Kiravic Coscivian]] and [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]] are very prominent in the midwest and southeast region of the country,respectively, with Coscivian being spoken by 21 million residents and Cartadanian being spoken by 9 million residents. [[Alcosky]] is the only commonwealth in Tierrador to declare Ænglish as its sole official language, due to consistent historical Ængle influence stemming from the Western Republic. Aracadó also declares Cartadanian as an official language alongside Qabóri, as it has the highest concentration of Lusophonic Tierradorians. Most Tierradorian schools only offer classes in Qabóri and Terra Ænglish, however in areas with an allowing budget, classes are also taught in various languages, mostly Coscivian and Cartadanian, but also in Yapokee, Sokalakee, Soqweux, and Latin. It is required, however, that all Tierradorians learn Qabóri and Terra Ænglish, and usually both languages are taught from grades 1 to 4. | ||
According to the [[Tierradorian Communities Survey|TCS]] for 2020, 121 million spoke only Qabóri at home. The second-highest number was Youkafee, spoken by 34 million within their residence, followed by Terra Ænglish at 29 million. The remaining numbers were mostly Abioic languages, with 16 million speaking one or more of such, Coscivian (8 million), Cartadanian (6 million) [[Western Valley Qabóri]] (3 million), various Polynesian languages (3 million), [[Quetzeni language|Quetzeni]] (2 million), [[w:Ainu language|Oyash]] (1 million), [[Sinhala language|Tapakdi]] (1 million), [[w:Spanish language|Pelaxian]] (1 million), and [[w:Punjabi language|Peshbi]] (900 thousand). | |||

While mostly dominated by [[Abioic civilization]], culture in Tierrador is very diverse and mixed, consisting of cultures from around the world, but predominantly from Crona, Great Kirav and Audonia. Tierrador is considered a “melting pot” of cultures, with over 150 languages being recorded throughout Tierradorian history. Mainstream Tierradorian culture is an Occidental culture largely derived from a number of factors including: the nation's key commercial location centered in South Crona, its rapidly changing history, going from an Empire to an authoritarian regime, and back to a traditional liberal democracy, and its status as a major power, traditions originating from foreign immigrants from nations such as [[Kiravia]] and [[Alstin]], and cultural practices stemming back several centuries to the days of the Qabóri Woqalate and the Abio Nations. | While mostly dominated by [[Abioic civilization]], culture in Tierrador is very diverse and mixed, consisting of cultures from around the world, but predominantly from Crona, Great Kirav and Audonia.

Individualism, having a strong work ethic, competitiveness, and altruism are also cited values. According to a 2026 study by the Charities Aid Foundation, Tierradorians donated 1.73% of total GDP to charity, the highest in the world by a large margin. Tierrador is home to a wide variety of ethnic groups, traditions, and values, and exerts major cultural influence on a global scale, with the phenomenon being termed Tierradorization. As such, the Woqalate is considered a cultural superpower.

Mainstream Tierradorian culture is described as an Occidental culture mixed with South Cronan indigenous culture, most notably Qabóri and Youkafee, with the addition of many smaller Abio Nations (Tauçan, Tapkoii, A'ulele, Telohakee, etc.). Coscivian culture is very large in Tierrador as well, with many characteristics of Tierradorian culture being derived from Kiravia, such as architecture and linguistics. | ||
Recent immigration from | Recent immigration from Audonia, Sarpedon, and Levantia has added to a cultural mix that has been described as a homogenizing melting pot, and a heterogeneous salad bowl, with immigrants contributing to, and often assimilating into, mainstream Tierradorian culture. The Tierradorian Promise, a speech by former president Aunó Saunlec detailing the promise of economic, social, and political prosperity in Tierrador due to the various opportunities presented by the industrial boom seen in the mid-1930s, adds to a perception that Tierradorians enjoy high social mobility, which plays a key role in attracting immigrants. Tierrador has some of the highest civil rights ranks in the world, with the rights of Tierradorians being heavily protected. Tierrador ranks top-5 in gender equality, and also has very advanced LGBT rights. | ||
