High Coscivian is a required subject in most academic (college-oriented) secondary schools. At elite high schools, vernacular language, literature, and composition are dispensed with entirely, in favour of exclusive study of High Coscivian. | |||
Catholic and Orthodox Sunday schools also teach the basics of High Coscivian so that children can learn to understand the liturgy. | |||

Knowledge of High Coscivian correlates with education level, caste, class. Ethnic groups speaking languages descended from Imperial Coscivian pick it up better, obvi. | |||
====Native Speakers and Speech Community==== | |||
For [a very long time] High Coscivian has subsisted primarily in writing. | |||
The '''Eight Highfalutin Lineages''' (High Coscivian: ''Name here namehere'') are noble patrilines dating verifiably from the [Last iteration of the] Empire (and unverifiably claiming descent much further back than this) who conserve High Coscivian as their native tongue and home language. With an enumerated population of 612, they are among the smallest Coscivian ethnic groups recognised by the Kiravian Census. Although the Eight Lineages claim to preserve an unbroken chain of native speakers reaching back to time immemorial, most scholars believe that no spoken language mutually intelligible with Classical Coscivian survived past [ERA], and that the {{wkt|ecolect|ecolects}} spoken among the Eight Lineages appear to be derived from the postclassical written High Coscivian of the [Xth] Empire, and were probably acquired by their progenitors during this era. | |||
Scattered instances of native High Coscivian speakers exist outside of the Eight Lineages. Of verified cases, none are the product of sustained intergenerational transmission, and in most the extent to which High Coscivian is used as a home language is less than advertised. | |||
Beyond the miniscule number of native speakers, there exists a much larger contemporary speech community made up of second-language speakers using the language orally. [contexts in which?] | |||
