Languages of Enqusqo

The Republic of Énqusqó (RCE) has six official languages, of which two – Énqutsa and Vinqe – have the higher status of "procedural" languages of the Public Senate (whereas the Regal Senate accepts all official languages as working languages). As part of the Northern Accession in 1994, Vincatli was enshrined as the republic's only other procedural language as part of the transition treaty signed between the city-states, Riyata and the republic. The two procedural languages are those used in the day-to-day workings of the Institutions of Énqusqó. Interspeech, the working language of the World Forum, is also recognised as a "treaty" language, and all treaties of the republic are also released in Interspeech.

The republic asserts that it is in favour of linguistic diversity. Both the Treaty of Póo Mín Tsetli and [Other Treaty] have the principle of linguistic and cultural diversity enshrined within them.

In the REC, language policy is the responsibility of member city-states, and the REC doesn't have a common language policy; REC institutions play a supporting role in this field, based on urbocentrist principles; they promote the Énqusqan dimension of the member city-states' language policies. The REC encourages all of its citizens to be multilingual; specifically, it encourages it citizens to be able to speak two languages other than their native language. Despite this, the REC has very limited influence in this area as educational content is within the jurisdiction of the individual city-states. There are a number of REC programmes hat actively promote language learning and linguistic diversity.

The most widely understood language in the RCE is Énqutsa which is understood by X% of citizens of voting age. Vinqe is the second most understood language in the republic, with Interspeech being the third, ahead of the remaining natural languages of the peninsula.
