A variety of languages exist in Monsilva, and so Monsilvan immigrants who come to Kivu bring these multiple languages with them. The vast majority of Monsilvan Kivuians speak the standard [[Monsilvan language|Monsilvan]] spoken throughout all of Monsilva. However, there are still noticeable minorities of Monsilvan Kivuians who speak [[Luhainese]] and [[Shaoyunese language|Shaoyunese]]. The language is an important aspect of Monsilvan culture, and immigrants from Monsilva encourage their families to continue using Monsilvan at home and with their families, despite them mostly using Kivuian in their everyday lives. Around 95% of first-generation Monsilvan immigrants in Kivu speak Monsilvan, while around 65% of Kivu-born Monsilvans speak Monsilvan. Around 98% of Kivu-born Monsilvans speak Kivuian, but only around 30% use it as the main language at home. | A variety of languages exist in Monsilva, and so Monsilvan immigrants who come to Kivu bring these multiple languages with them.

A variety of languages exist in Monsilva, and so Monsilvan immigrants who come to Kivu bring these multiple languages with them. The vast majority of Monsilvan Kivuians speak the standard Monsilvan spoken throughout all of Monsilva. However, there are still noticeable minorities of Monsilvan Kivuians who speak Luhainese and Shaoyunese. The language is an important aspect of Monsilvan culture, and immigrants from Monsilva encourage their families to continue using Monsilvan at home and with their families, despite them mostly using Kivuian in their everyday lives. Around 95% of first-generation Monsilvan immigrants in Kivu speak Monsilvan, while around 65% of Kivu-born Monsilvans speak Monsilvan. Around 98% of Kivu-born Monsilvans speak Kivuian, but only around 30% use it as the main language at home.
In areas with larger populations of Monsilvan Kivuians, particularly cities, certain Monsilvan words and phrases have made their way into the everyday speech of both Monsilvan Kivuians themselves, but also ethnic Kivuians and other resident ethnic groups. This has taken place particularly amongst school-age children, who form slang in Kivuian using Monsilvan words and phrases. This has happened in more extreme cases, where Monsilvan words and phrases have been used in Kivuian speech for so long that they have entered the language as a standard. The most common variety of loaning in Kivuian, is where a phrase or word's semantics are borrowed, but the words are Kivuian. An example of this is the word Gehirnwäsche (meaning "brainwash") which comes from the Monsilvan 洗脑 (Xǐnǎo, literally "wash brain") which was a term used by members of the Monsilvan Revolutionary Army and other dissidents during the Monsilvan Revolution to refer to sympathisers of Shao Yaoting's regime and became used more widespread in Kivu and Jackson after and during the 1978 Jingtianmen Square protests and massacre and Operation Greenbird.
