Vastrian (Vastrian: laingue vastríe [lɛnɣja βastʀi]) is a Romance language spoken on the namesake insular nation of Vastria, which is located several miles off the coast of France. It is an eastern Armorican variety closely related to the Gallo language spoken within the Brittany region in northwestern France as well as the neighboring Poitevin and Angevin dialects there. The language's origins began with a series of expeditions by Breton traders and fishermen towards the uninhabited island during the early 15th century. But it was not until the mid-1450s that a permanent settlement would be established on the port of Dûcsville; the migrating settlers were mostly Oïl speakers and hailed from the poorer areas around the Dol and St. Malo counties (although some of them were of Breton and even Norman stock).

It serves as the official language of the Republic of Vastria.
