In Stargone, the largest single human territorial zone is overseen by the Universal Corporate Council (UCC), which is a loose union of megacorporations who established themselves and their zones within what would become the UCC early in the days of interstellar colonization. Within the UCC, English is the most widespread language and considered the official standard language for communicating with or among the general population. For higher status families in the management class, different corporate zones tend to have distinct upper class languages that are taught in schools in addition to English. In the Fortschrittliche Zukunftslösung (FZ) zone, German is the language of management. In the Chen Zone, a variant of modern Pyojuneo, the South Korean language is taught to the families of management. It is common in all the different corporate zones for those in the shareholding class spend considerable effort to educate their children in the management language of their zone in an effort to appear more high status. For members of the general population, it is normally seen as above their station to display a knowledge of the management language beyond basic slogans or chants.

The independent colonies for the most part speak English, although like all things regarding the colonies there is no complete uniformity. The Liefeld colony for example still speaks English, with classes taught by the I.M.A.G.E. central computer. However despite the computer’s ability to teach, the generations of genetic alternation leading to mental degradation has left the Liefeld population loud, rowdy, and while capable of average conversational speech often unable to articulate complex concepts or read at a high level.

The Azonian colony are another exception to the norm, as they learn and speak Portuguese as their primary language, and only learn English in the later years of their educations so that they can communicate with outsiders. This makes them stand out as their English tends to be distinct as they are one of the few populations to learn it as a secondary rather than primary language.

The arweli, the alien race with which humanity has had the most contact, speak and are taught a language that the first humans to interact with them dismissively named “Umwelt”. Young arweli are taught by their family pod, and with the addition of some level of genetic memory they tend to pick up on the language very quickly. Before the collapse of the arweli government, young arweli would be sent to large academies to receive formal education that expanded on what their pod had taught them. While other arweli languages are known to exist, Umwelt was the language of the arweli central government and military before it collapsed, making it by far most encountered by humans. Almost no humans are able to to decipher the various calls and croaks. Arweli on the other hand tend to be able to pick up human languages, although without surgical modification they are unable to speak them. After the war ended, it was not uncommon for arweli living in mixed areas with humans to have surgery to implant devices to modify their vocal cords to be able to speak human languages.
