High Coscivian is regularly employed as a matrix for the translation between Coscivian vernacular languages. As all literary languages in the Coscivian cultural sphere have been translating texts both to and from High Coscivian and have well-established paradigms for doing so, filtering text through High Coscivian during the translation process is found to improve accuracy, reduce ambiguity, and improve the syntactic and stylistic quality of translations.

[In Sarolasta]
[In Sarolasta]<br>
Somewhat surprisingly, given the archipelago's remoteness from the traditional lands of the Coscivian Empire and the mostly Austronesian ancestry of its population, contemporary use of High Coscivian is especially vigorous in [[Sarolasta]]. Sarolasta is home to X indigenous Austronesian languages, and no one vernacular language predominated among the Coscivian colonists in the Sarolastan islands - [[Kalvertan Coscivian|Kalvertan]], Kiravic, [[South Coscivians#Language|Hekko-Southern]], Maritime Coscivian, Paisonic, Lusan, Kerēgulan, and others were used in one settlement or another. The centrality of the Coscivian Catholic Church as a religious and cultural institution and the main provider of education in Sarolasta engendered the proliferation of High Coscivian as the primary medium for interethnic formal communication and publishing. Sarolasta has four High Coscivian daily newspapers, whereas Great Kirav only has one.


====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?]

Knowledge of High Coscivian correlates with education level, caste, class. Ethnic groups speaking languages descended from Imperial Coscivian pick it up better, obvi.
