Lucrecia is a {{wp|bilingual}} state; its two official languages are [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]], a vernacular of the [[Pelaxian language]] that makes use of Latinic loanwords, and {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}, the traditional language of the [[Isurians]]. Historically, the language of Lucrecia's elites was Pelaxian, it having displaced [[Emeritan Latin|Latin]] during the years under [[Pelaxia|Pelaxian]] suzerainty. During this time, the Isurian language was seen as the language of peasants, with many high-class Isurians opting to learn Pelaxian so as to retain their status. It was not until the enactment of the Popular Amendments in 1970 that Isurian was raised to an equal status to Pelaxian. | Lucrecia is a {{wp|bilingual}} state; its two official languages are [[Emeritan Pelaxian|Pelaxian]], a vernacular of the [[Pelaxian language]] that makes use of Latinic loanwords, and {{wp|Galician language|Isurian}}, the traditional language of the [[Isurians]].

According to the most recent census, the percentage of Lucrecians who speak Isurian (Lucrecio-Isurians) is around 53% of the population, with the percentage of Pelaxian speakers (Emeritans) being around 47%. Asides from the official languages, there are a number of minorities who can speak a non-official language, the most notable being the Emeritan vernacular of the Latin language, one of the only two colloquial forms of Latin, the other being [[Caphiric Latin]], in the world, and the Standard and Rumahokian vernaculars of Pelaxian from amongst the [[Pelaxians]] and the [[Delepasians]] who reside in Lucrecia. | According to the most recent census, the percentage of Lucrecians who speak Isurian (Lucrecio-Isurians) is around 53% of the population, with the percentage of Pelaxian speakers (Emeritans) being around 47%.
