Language policies in Creeperopolis center primary on efforts of the Creeperian government to increase the dominance of the Creeperian Standard of Spanish within Creeperopolis over the various other minority languages of the country. Creeperian national identity and centralization are cited as the primary reasons for placing such an emphasis on the Creeperian Standard of Spanish.

The use of other languages varies department to department and in what context the language is used in. The language of Deltinian is almost completely banned, no matter in what context, with the only exception being in private use within a household. Other languages such as Senvarian and Native San Carlos Islander have some restrictions on where they can be spoken and in what context. The Spanish standards of Atlántidan, Castillianan, and Salvadoran are allowed to have official status within their respective departments, or country in the case of Salvadoran, however, the Creeperian Standard is the only official national language.
