Despite the extend of schooling in both languages, Yonderre remains a bilingual country: television and radio programming from state-operated or state-financed media like [[Télévision 1 (Yonderre)|Télévision 1]] are required by law to be available in both languages. Some sociologists like [[Nicolas Boucault]] contend that the [[East Gothic language]] is "under attack" in Yonderre, claiming that many institutions of higher education are biased against native Gothic speakers because most classes are taught in Burgoignesc. Similarly, the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] requires all radio communication to be in the Burgoignesc language. | Despite the extend of schooling in both languages, Yonderre remains a bilingual country: television and radio programming from state-operated or state-financed media like [[Télévision 1 (Yonderre)|Télévision 1]] are required by law to be available in both languages.

The Burgoignesc language spoken in Yonderre is sometimes referred to as Yonderian Burgoignesc and sometimes Yonderoburgoignesc. Yonderian Burgoignesc differs from modern Levantine Burgoignesc mostly by its use of Gothic loanwords. Yonderian Burgoignesc and Levantine Burgoignesc are mutually intelligible, with an estimated 95 to 98% shared lexicon and only few lexical differences between the two languages. Dialects of East Gothic are typically specific to the different regions where it is spoken. Since the popularization of radio, many dialects of East Gothic have been dying out and replaced with the ''Reichssprache'', the "language of the realm", a dialect bridging the gap between [[Gabion]] East Gothic and [[Collinebourg]] East Gothic, very popular in radio, television and with [[Yonderian cinema]]. | The Burgoignesc language spoken in Yonderre is sometimes referred to as Yonderian Burgoignesc and sometimes Yonderoburgoignesc.
