	Although the Oye maintain a consistent identity, the customs, laws and beliefs of various Oye communities will differ from location to location. Each community will have its own developments and influences depending on their respective history and geographical situation, with some traditions varying greatly between villages. Despite this, the Oye have persisted in maintaining their unified cultural identity, partly due to their aversion to the other ethnic groups of Okrit.

	The majority language of the Oye is [[Omolain language\|Omolain]], within the larger [[Languages of Okrit\|central lowland]] classification. Omolain serves as the working language of the [[Okriti Federated Government\|Okriti Government]], with the standard variety being based primarily on the [[Nakrama]] dialect and the literary vernacular of classical Oye literature, from the period of 600 - 200 TT. Standard Omolain serves almost entirely as the language of government and publications, with most day-to-day speech being in the respective dialects of Omolain. Although mutually intelligible, these dialects can be rather jarring and hard to adjust to for second language speakers, of which a great amount of other Okritis as well as foreigners are. Alongside Omolain, Oye populations to the west of the Omolai may also speak Inunese, a language that diverged from Omolain very early in its history, and differs greatly due to its historical influences, such as proximity to the western lowland languages of the Taaqbal and Efiyye and it's lack of interaction with Ukubian compared to Omolain. Likewise, some of the eastern Oye populations speak dialects with influence from the neighboring Amata, however Omolain is considered of higher prestige than the Amata dialects, and is more likely to be spoken in Amata villages than vice versa.
