Seváronsa has an ethnically diverse population. 29% of residents are identified as [[Coscivian]], including significant numbers of [[Melian_Islands#Ethnic_Groups|Melotes]] and [[Æonara#Society_and_Culture|Sinyolans]]. The two largest Coscivian ethno-cultural subgroups are [[Taństan Coscivians]], who account for a plurality of the multigenerational Coscivian residents and a majority of the rural Coscivian population, and [[Austral Coscivians]], who form the largest single Coscivian group in urban areas. 38% of the population are native Barikol, and 33% are of other origins, mainly descended from contract workers brought from mainland Crona, Punth, and Audonia to provide agricultural labour.

This includes ethnic X, Y, Daxian, and Z, as well as [[Tryhstian Littoral|Tryhstians]] from Great Kirav. The Burgoniesc population numbers around 8,200 today, mostly living in Avrēdegra and its environs, although there are two Burgittan-speaking hamlets on Lesser Seváronsa. Geat Seváronsa is the most multiethnic of the three islands, with Lesser Seváronsa having a Barikol supermajority. Karluk has an unusually high Coscivian population at 45%, owing to its history as a penal colony and the presence of a Kiravian military base. | ||
Seváronsa is a multilingual society. The Barikol languages, taken together, would be the most spoken language in the territory, though in reality Barikol is a group of two or three languages (Lesser Barikol, Great Barikol, and Northeast Barikol, which some linguists consider distinct) traditionally divided into 10-14 dialects, some of which have merged as a result of {{wp|dialect levelling}}. A separate indigenous language more distantly related to Barikol is spoken on Karluk. Taństan Coscivian is the largest Coscivian language by number of native speakers, and is still used extensively by local governments and businesses. Depending on the context, the main language of interethnic communication in rural and small-town Seváronsa is Taństan Coscivian (in formal settings) or a Taństan-based creole known as ''Awaīśibi''. Awaīśibi is spoken as a native language by most urbanised Barikol and many descendants of immigrant contract labourers. Around 6% of the population speaks Portuguese, including Tryhstians and the descendants of immigrants from Lusophone Cronan countries formerly colonised by [[Insui]]. Kiravic Coscivian is the main language of everyday life in Avrēdegra and Coscivian communities on Karluk, and is the official language of the territorial government, though Taństem Coscivian continues to be used for many governmental purposes. | Seváronsa is a multilingual society.
