Randot (Lāngārāndot) is spoken on the island of Tōnos in the island republic of Sylafina. It was first spoken by the Ykji peoples. When President Porvo Koljobarātan, a Ykji, was elected in 2040, the language gained popularity in the eight other islands of Sylafina. It is spoken as a first language by 78 million people, mostly under the age of 50. There are 17 million people who speak it as a second language. Many people in the nearby Maldives and Kerala (India) began learning it as a foreign language because of an increase of Sylaf immigrants.
