abstract
| - Hejvat (former names: Keva, Evat) is a language spoken by the Keva people of New Cambria. It is the native language of the archipelago. Originally spoken throughout the whole of New Cambria Island and its smaller neighbors, it is spoken today by an estimated 97,000 people in New Cambria (about 3.5% of the country's population), with its stronghold in the rural areas of North-West County, and several larger communities in Đor and Tain municipalities. Since reliable record-keeping measures began in the late 1800s, the number of Hejvat speakers in New Cambria has fallen by over 60%. Though the decline has slowed considerably since the mid-1970s, fluency in the language continues to drop. The Keva community and the New Cambria government continue to promote the language, which has contributed to the increase in non-Keva learners of the language. It is taught in some primary and secondary schools in North-West County, and at both the University of New Cambria in Arvant and Het Kajve University in Đor.
