The state also uses signage in Cartadanian, dating back to the Vermillion Acts in the early 15th century. However, due to roughly 20% of the state's population having Latin ancestry, the General Assembly has allowed the combined use of [[Caphiric Latin|Latin]] and English alongside Cartadanian in areas of education and other public-facing entities. About 84% of the 15.3 million Latin-identifying individuals in Verona are also fluent in Latin and/or English alongside Cartadanian. | ||

The lexical similarity between Cartadanian and Pelaxian is high, though, estimated at around 90%, allowing for permissive communication between the two groups without a major need for translation. The Census has reported that approximately one-third of the population, or about 25.4 million people, in Verona speaks a mother language other than Cartadanian at home, highlighting the state's linguistic diversity. | ||
Of this diversity, the most common languages spoken in Verona as a whole are [[Cartadanian language|Cartadanian]], [[Caphiric Latin|Latin]], [[English]], {{wp|Spanish language|Pelaxian}}, as well as several other languages accounting for less than 1% of the spoken diversity each. Historically, Verona, or more accurately, the Aleo-Attalense coast, has been seen as the birthplace of Cartadanian as a language, both in its historical sense and its more modern form. The three macrodialects that make up the spoken Cartadanian in Verona–Attalense, Costenho, and Mendêsano–are more closely related to the standard Cartadanian dialect than many other central dialects, like those spoken in the bulk of Alexandria (Aleo and Nitrósa dialect), and the Costenho and Attalense dialects in particular are the most commonly heard in Cartadanian media. | |||
