===Languages===
The official language of Wedse is Wedsen, and is spoken by 98% of the population, as well as Koran which makes up another 90%. A variety of dialects of Wedsen and Koran are spoken across the country, and there are also some speakers of Old Wedsen. In the west of the country, [[Mashgal]] is heavily used , specifically in Chuluulag and some parts of Zakhiral. In these regions, over 84% of the population are fluent, with Wedsen acting as their second language.
 
Today, Wedsen is written using the Wedsen alphabet in Wedse, and Koran the Koran alphabet, although in the past itWedsen was written using the Old Wedse script. An official reintroduction of the old script was planned for 2021, but has not taken place as older generations encountered practical difficulties. Schools have been in discussion to reinstate the old alphabet, for the future generations to come. However, talks have been slow and there have been many disadvantages of enforcing this into society.
 
Flírsk is the most frequently spoken foreign language in Wedse, followed by Everish, although Everish isn’t an official language of Wedse. It is believed about 70-80% of the population in Wedse can speak Flírsk to a good degree, whereas English speakers in the country are estimated to be around 40%. In total, some thousands of Wedsen citizens are fluent in at least 4 languages, which has been helped by the high education system within the country. Lakadamian is the main foreign language choice for students in education, with over 86% of students aged 9-19 being able to speak Lakadamian to a good level. All these figures are likely to increase in the future as Wedse strives to become a more multilingual country.
