The Kazleti are known for their incredibly complex languages. The main, standard, common tongue of Karutin is known for sounding 'liquid' and 'beautifully poetic' but being near indecipherable for many translators, organic or otherwise. Karutin shares many of the most common aspects of various Kalzeti languages, though not all of them, and its vocabulary and grammar are most like the Kantenkenese language, though there are significant contributions by High Beuldaerian, Dilzin, and Vocakhaelin. Karutin has no concrete distinction between plural and singular, or between genders, only sexes, which usually consist of technical terms related to anatomy. For instance, the Karutin word for 'bride' (a loose translation) "Kevensi", literally means "Second Half", and is only pejoratively Feminine due to the word's relation to Kazleti marriages, when the 'bride' enters the chapel after her prospective husband has initiated the ceremony, symbolizing their creation myth. In same-sex wedding scenarios, the words for 'bride' and 'groom', 'lose' their gender characteristics. This is the same with the word "Kykshen", the Karutin word for 'crowd', which literally means 'Unruly' and while it is almost exclusively used to refer to large groups of people, it is not dictated that it always is.
 
This lack of set, grammatical differences between plural and singular words, and a lack of grammatical gender, made it near impossible for many outsiders to communicate with them initially as normal translation matrixes didn't work and the language barrier was larger than usual. This has led to Karutin being rarely spoken by Kazleti off their own worlds, with Federation Standard and other trade languages taking precedent. All Kazleti children are educated in multiple languages from birth, and those on the homeworld typically learn 3 before their age of majority, their own regional/ethnic language used at home, Karutin which is most commonly used in public, and Federation standard. Many children in the Kazleti diaspora communities only known Federation standard as the praxis of teaching Karutin and other languages is seen as having little praxis by Kazleti expatriate parents as most have an extremely hard time learning Karutin, and because nearly all Kazleti speak Federation Standard.
 
Many Kazleti languages, Karutin included, typically have 2-3 styles of speech that vary based on social context. All of these styles have their own grammatical rules, vocabulary and pronunciation. In Karutin, there are 3 'Tones' that correspond with increasing formality. The first tone, "Nara" is the formal tone, literally meaning "High Son", it is used informally by peers and colleagues and is the tone of everyday life, it is also spoken by those in a superior position, to those in an inferior position. Hnkisu is the second tone, and is somewhere between formal and informal, it is most commonly used by people who do not know one another, or by people not wishing to be too informal, or too formal. Nehuar is the third tone and the most formal one and is used in public speeches and formal announcements and is used by people in inferior status to those in a superior one. There are also certain nuances to the vocabulary used in each tense, for instance one never uses the most formal words to refer to oneself, and certain words, even expressions, are reserved for certain tenses.
