The eparchy of Līlasuṃghāṇa, at the 3872 (6422<sub>10</sub>) census, had a population of 9Ɛ.42.535 <small>(29,698,169<sub>10</sub>)</small> people. The Līlasuṃghāṇa metropolitan area is the second-largest in the world (after the polycentric conurbation of eastern Hachitama diocese) and extends into neighboring parts of Nanašīrama and also the dioceses of Talæñoya to the south as well as Šraḍhaṃñælihæka and Kāṃradeša across the lake. Usāṃrātnam sector is the most populated subdivision in the eparchy; the areas typically know as "the center" are Ṣrāvamaila sector, seat of the Inquisitorial Palace, of the Blossoming Temple, and of most central institutions of the Inquisition, and the six sectors encircling it (Lūṣyambādhi, Hūneidauṣa, Nājāmiḍāra, Haleikēlṭah, Saṃryojyam, and Janaimarta).

Chlouvānem is the administrative language of the city, spoken, as in the whole Inquisition, in a state of diglossia alongside the local vernacular; the Līlasuṃghāṇi vernacular (natively ''lïlasoṃḥæñy dåṭ'' but usually just referred to as ''dåṭ mysæ'' "our language") shares traits with most vernaculars of the eastern part of the Jade Coast.<br/>
The Laifutaši language, which was spoken in pre-Yunyalīlti times in the area and greatly influenced Chlouvānem (and also some words of the local vernacular not present in standard Chlouvānem), has left its trace in many toponyms in the area: lake ''Lūlunīkam''; the rivers ''Lanamilūki'', ''Talitanah'', and ''Rajālyāti''; the diocese of ''Nanašīrama'' itself, and all of parts of the name of most sectors and areas in it (such as ''Hilaiñāña'', ''Hūneidauṣa'', or ''Mūlikṣaḍāra'').

87.3% of residents are ethnically Chlouvānem, with the remainder being made up of many other legally recognized ethnicities. The three largest among those are Bronic (1.3%), Kuyugwazians (1.1%), and people of Eastern Védrenian origin (0.9%). Classical Chlouvānem is the city's most spoken language; 70% of all inhabitants also speak the local vernacular, Līlasuṃghāṇi (''dåṭ lïlasoṃḥæñy'' {{IPA|[ˈdɑʊ̯ʈ ɴ̆ɐɪ̯ɴ̆æsɵ̃ːxɛˈɲyː]}}), a dialect inside the Southern Jade Coast dialect continuum. The most spoken native language excluding these two has been found to be the Western Chlouvānem Creole, spoken by about 4% of people. Among non-Chlouvānem languages, the most spoken include [[Brono-Fathanic|Bronic]], [[Kuyugwazian]], [[Soenjoan]], [[Lenyan]], other Kenengyry languages, and various languages from Eastern Védren.

Even by Chlouvānem standards, Līlasuṃghāṇa is a culturally diverse city, first of all because of its position between two major cultural areas, the Great Plain and the South, with traits of both found in the city and its surroundings, and also because of its political role, attracting people from all of the Chlouvānem world and beyond.
