Vascania is incredibly linguistically diverse and Rajutti (Hindi) has historically functioned as a national lingua franca. Utsari (Bengali), Khoni (Gujarati) and Samanari (Marathi) are among the most commonly spoken Kalkali (Indo-Aryan) languages. Kalam (Tamil), Avidugu (Telugu) and Tannata (Kannada) are the most widely spoken Vanashishu (Dravidian) languages. Various regional linguistic minorities exist too, such as Bhapori (Kashmiri), Hamali (Nepali), Yuccharizhi (Malayalam), Nolhiri (Dhivehi) and the Arakouge-Kanmite (Kuki-Chin–Naga) languages.
