Ośnir(Ośnir: syhośnira [sɨxoʂnirɑ]) is a North Ossic language spoken natively by around 40,000 Ośnir people(ośnirá) in the region of Oślaith,[a] which is primarily situated around the Oś river. However, in recent years it has also gained many L2 speakers thanks to the efforts of proponents of Iśatúredá(lit. "Iśatúr-ism"), both its original proponents, and its modern continuation, the Vilskar. Thus, since the beginning, the Ośnir language has spread in use across the Confederacy, far from traditional Oślaith, and has also massively influenced the Iśatúr and Vilskar movements; the word iśatúr itself figuratively means "to fight for a good cause" while vilskar means "to repeat", alluding to a second Iśatúr revolution.

Ośnir is an official language of the Iśatúr Confederacy. In 400 BH, it was estimated that there were around 67,890 L2 speakers of Ośnir; these speakers are often called "urban speakers" by native (primarily rural) speakers
