''Main article: [[Languages of Fyor]]''
 
Nearly all of Fyor's population are fluent in [[Fyoric language|Fyoric]] with only a fewvery hundredsmall number* (mostly immigrants) not. While most Kirasans are not directly fluent in the language it is mutually intelligible with [[Kiras]], hence most can understand what a Fyoric person is saying and vice versa without being a proper speaker. [[Jigoton]] is only spoken natively by the small population of Explorers, it is not fully recognised or given exposure in Fyor. Attempts to open Jigoton language centres have failed due to shutdown orders from the government.
 
The most popular foreign languages are [[Everish]], [[Latinican]] and [[Aquian]] around 93% of Fyoric people have a basic knowledge of at least one of the three languages. 7181% can speak Everish fluently, 4929% can speak Latinican fluently and 8314% can speak Aquian fluently.

Some other foreign languages are similar to ones spoken in Fyor and its territories. [[Eldancan]], [[Gameican]], [[Julianoise]] and [[Katak]] are all similar to Fyoric and Kiras while [[Beklian]] is similar to Jigoton.

Irreligious people face discrimination in Fyor, while much of this was stopped during the liberal period, since then it has become commonplace and despite irreligious people making up almost 10% of the population many laws prevent them from getting jobs and running for elections in some provinces.
 
Religious people of other faiths are generally integrated into Fyoric society and don't experience much problems.
 
==Sports==
The most popular sport in Fyor is [[football]], the [[Fyor national football team|national team]] has had some success internationally, they competed at the [[2020 FANA World Cup]] which was also their debut in the competition. In the group stage they came last in their group with 2 points, drawing against [[Torlova]] (0-0) and [[Wedse]] (4-4) while losing to [[Freyhurst]] (1-2). The Fyoric Football League is popular in the country, the most successful team is [[Kailo Urbo FC|Kailo Urbo]] who have won 24 league titles.
 
Other popular sports include [[basketball]], [[rugby]], [[ice hockey]] and [[snowboarding]]. The traditional sport of [[Kurufalolaŭmont]] is popular, it involves running down a hill and throwing targets at people to make them fall or slow them down, the first person to finish wins. The sport is only played on gentle slopes with no rocks etc to prevent accidents, and in winter it is only played on hills with soft and thick snow. Despite these general precautions it is still responsible for the majority of sport related injuries in Fyor. While now only official games use the original targets that cause minor injury and bleeding, up until 1998 it was possible for anyone to buy the 'dolorapunktoj' before it was banned for sale completely. Now the hard, original targets can only be used and sourced if an official game is being organised and they must be destroyed afterwards, though many are taken from games and used to play informal games with others and the law is not that well enforced. There have been numerous incidents where informal games of the sport have led to severe injuries and deaths.
