Anisoran (Anisorano [anisoˈraːno] or Lingua Anisorana [ˈliŋɡwa anisoˈraːna]) is a Pastanic language of the Kachal-Anarian language family. It is descended from Late Pastanan (West Pastanic), one of the main spoken languages of the Dragar Monopoly, and is subsequently a member of the Dragar languages family. Anisoran is spoken natively by more than 60 million people, predominantly in Anisora and the Cadrian Republic, where it is an official language. However, after the expansion of the Anisoran Empire, there are sizeable minority speakers in other parts of Anaria Minor, including Tavonia and East Lusavan. The language is also spoken in a number of the former Anisoran colonies and dominions throughout Gotha, including parts of Sokoku.

In modern-day Anisora and the Cadrian Republic, Anisoran is the first and native language of almost 90% of the population, with a further 10% using it as a second or even third language. It is largely mutually intelligible with Auresian and many other Tovan-Anisoric languages, such as Marolian.
