===The Three National Languages===
The Language Act of 1967, formally designated three languages for use nationwide. It required all government materials and functions to be conducted in English, Spanish and Slokasian. The act was extremely controversial as Mandarin was excluded from the act's language. The Pindai National Party protested the act by speaking entirely in Pindai Mandarin for the remainder of the 1967 UFP Congress. The primary argument used by proponents of the Three Language Plan was that no single dialect of Mandarin was spoken by more than 10% of the population while both English and Spanish had at least 55% speaking the language and Slokasian was constructed from several indigenous languages. By 1975 however, the Language Act was revised to require only two out of the three languages be included on all government materials along with the designation of Pindai Mandarin as a "regional" language which allowed it to be included as a primary language in province's which adopted it. Meanwhile, as Slokais rebuilt, the Slokasian language had issues with usage. Indigenous people had been speaking there languages along with English since the 1920s in a sort of dialect. This essentially meant usage of the language was initially confined to school-age youth. By 1985, the Slokasian language reached 25% usage and 55% comprehension yet lagged behind English which was the primary lingua franca. Additionally, indigenous languages lost speakers as repression in the 50s and 60s combined with education focusing on the national languages led to a rapid decline in speakers. The El Nasionalima Era saw the formal implementation of language in relation to government with supporters arguing have a common set of languages would led to national unity.
