Eshavian Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken ethnic vernacular languages of Kirav, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Eshavian-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations. It is an official language of Fariva, Harma, and the Austral and Itapau Islands. However, there are far fewer monolingual speakers of Eshavian Coscivian than of the other vernacular languages of commensurate size, with most Eshavian-speakers outside of the Northeast also speaking in Kiravic. Monolingual Eshavian-speakers are also found in the [[Overseas Regions]]. | Eshavian Coscivian is one of the most widely-spoken ethnic vernacular languages of Kirav, with a long literary tradition and a well-developed network of Eshavian-medium educational institutions, newspapers, and radio stations.
