The population of Yonderre sits around 100 million people (2025), giving Yonderre a population density of 79.4/km<sup>2</sup> (205.6/sq mi). [[Yonderians]] are presently a largely homogeneous people culturally and ethnically despite the major influxes of chiefly [[Bergendii]] and other southern Levantine peoples from the middle of the fifteenth century. Although intially dividing society almost tribalistically between [[East Goths]] and [[Bergendii]] peoples, relations warmed up over time and finally with the [[Yonderian Golden Age]] of the nineteenth century, a common Yonderian culture emerged. | |||

The two official languages of Yonderre, as recognized by the [[Constitution of Yonderre]], are [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] and [[East Gothic language|Gothic]]. Determining the exact number of native speakers of each is dificult, but it is generally estimated that approximately 60% of Yonderians speak Gothic and 40% Burgoignesc as their mother tongue. School classes are taught predominantly in [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] or [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] depending on the school (or even individual class for larger schools), while the other language is taught as a seperate subject from the second class (third year) onwards. In 2019, 85.2% of self-reported native [[East Gothic language|Gothic]] speakers claimed to speak "good Burgoignesc", while 74.2% of native [[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] speakers claimed the same for Gothic. | |||
