The language spoken by the most people in the Byzantine Empire is Greek
1) German language
The modern German language is actually a somewhat artificial construct, as to unify the dialect and create one, common German language. Before this, many places each had their own dialects, and especially in the South, the dialects are often still spoken (along with the standard)
2) Galician - currently Galician has 3 standards, but there are efforts to create one standard, in order to strenghten the language's presence in Spain (but it's problematic since many speakers don't identify with the standard as much as with their own dialect)
Cases in state courts begin in a trial court where lawsuits and criminal cases are filed and evidence is eventually presented if a case proceeds to a hearing or trial.
