The Map
This map shows the major lingual regions as found
by the Report. The area in cyan indicates provinces in which English is by far the most popular language spoken in the home.
Provinces shown in green have a significant minority in which German is the language spoken in the home. Brown indicates
where Turkish is spoken in the home by a significant minority. In Srytta Province, seen in orange, the combined at-home language
minorities of German and Turkish make up a greater proportion of the population than English does.

The Census
Each year before an election on the first day of March the census
is released. It shows population statistics such as the number of people living in the Principality Of The Coral Islands,
their general health, as well as religious and social trends. The latest figures show that 2250026 people call the PCI home.
This year the government has been particularly interested in the report on languages spoken in the PCI. The statistics released
on March 1, 2004 show that over 99% of people in the PCI speak English, although not all do so fluently. For many Coralians,
English is a second language. Large sectors of the population originally speak German or Turkish.
Currently the official language is English, and it
is the only language in which government proceedings and documents are
given on the federal level. Provincially, some provinces are bilingual. Both Leidif and Nässa provinces provide services in
German as well as English. Turkish is the second language of Kint and Lakeshore Provinces. Srytta Province is trilingual,
offering services in English, German, and Turkish. Eljung and High Provinces offer only English services. Based on the information
released in this latest census, some Parliamentarians ran for the term beginning in 200V on a platform of introducing some
form of bilingualism or trilingualism into the Federal Government.
Names In The PCI
A special website has been created for one of the most popular parts of the census,
the report on common names given to newborns. Click here to visit it.
The Chart
This chart shows where Coralians are living. It gives municipal
populations for the capital cities (Which are also the largest cities) of each province. There is also a figure showing
how many Coralians live outside of these municipalities.
The column showing where parliamentary constituencies are
is representative of the provinces, not of the cities. Naturally, rural Coralians are represented in the Parliament; their
parliamentary seats are simply combined in the chart with those of their provincial capital cities.
