==Etymology==
Several theories exist about the name of New
This is, however, the only certainty about the origin of the term "New Leganés". In the earliest references to the term, it appears usually as "Livalénqasia", and this is often taken as the basis to search for an etymology. Thus, this "Livá", which means "New" in Cukish, wouldn't be nothing but a false cut, and such "Livá" should be included in the original root.
Line 149:
The Cooperative Commonwealth has three official languages, as stated in its Constitution: [[Cukish language|Cukish]], Impelanzan and Staynish. Every Cukish citizen must have a notable level on them all, and so they're taught since the first school levels. It is calculated that approximately a 99% of Cukish citizens speak fluently Cukish, a 90% speak Staynish and a 85% speak Impelanzan. The mother tongue is, however, different on each territory. The archipelagos of New Leganés and the Oblivion Islands have Cukish as its main mother tongue, while Shoneria has Impelanzan instead.

Aside from its use as mother tongue, Cukish is spoken by most Shonerians, but the usual way of communication between Cukish speakers and Impelanzan speakers is using Impelanzan, as advised by authorities via campaigns. This is an attempt to prevent Impelanzan from falling in disuse, as there are nowadays few situations in the Cukish-speaking territories when Impelanzan can be useful. Impelanzan is also promoted as the language of culture, being the main language in music, literature or movies. There are, nevertheless, rich cultural expressions in both Cukish and Staynish as well. Staynish is promoted as the language of international relations, following the prosperous tourism, trade and diplomacy sectors New Leganés enjoys in the last years, and, mostly in the past, was the mother tongue of several Oblivion Islands and Shoneria populations, until it got heavily reduced by the campaigns promoting Impelanzan and Cukish as mother tongues right after the [[
