Another prominent aspect of Acadian culture was its use of [[Tahar|Simplified Tahar]], brought to Acadia from the Adina/Moloka/Javaya line, as the official language, featured in many official documents and titles.

While Acadia never had an official national religion, due to the influence from Javaya and the legacy of Adina, Ashahari, a branch from [[Indoja]], was close to a national religion as it was by far the most dominant civ-religion in Acadia and had become central to Acadia's national identity. Two prominent political parties were formed after Ashahari values, though neither of them argued for a theocracy or an official national religion. Followers of Ashahari believe in a monotheistic deity, Ashahari, who is one with the universe. While being a non-corporal all-encompassing entity Ashahari manifests through Avatars. Many Ashaharist tend to focus their worship on specific avatars, leading to the in Acadia dominant denominations of Peleism; where Ashaharist worship the Avatar Pele, the manifestation of Ashahari as a cyclical force of creation and renewal, and Lunism; where Ashaharists worship the Avatar Luna, the manifestation of Ashahari as a watcher against the evils of darkness emphasizing unity and harmony.<ref>Officially recognized religions in Acadia: [https://imgur.com/a/48v1Jlh link] (discord message)</ref> Despite there being no lack of devotion, no Ashahari temple was eventually ever built in Acadia, although there were multiple plans to do so, including a large castle build with temple by former Javayan emperor [[Kalipso]].<ref>Plans for the Ashahari Community Center: [https://imgur.com/a/y5pKaLo link] (imgur of discord message)</ref>
