Emerstarian is the official language of the NFRE according to a Royal Decree of 1058. Two other languages are recognized, Norrosprak and Canarian, but only within their respective regions. Most Emerstarians learn either English Language, Canarian, or Marselian as a second language. Coelanish is also a common language to learn, however, the number of Emerstarians learning Coelanish have begun to decline. This decline has been due to increased trade with Marseile
.
Modern Emerstarian is a descendant of Primeval Emerstarian which evolved from copious Emerstarian dialects spoken throughout northwestern Emerstari around 20000 BC. Emerstarian has matured considerably throughout time, notably in the Eleventh Century when the newly reunited Emerstari attempted to unite the dialects of Emerstarian that had stemmed from Archaic Emerstari once the Furst Imperium fell. Since the Fifteenth Century, Emerstarian has grown to be a valued language in trade and diplomacy due to its colonial empire It is the national language of several former colonies and the official language of multiple international organizations, such as the Emerstarian Commonwealth, the Eurevian Free Trade Organization, and the Venson Union.
