Demotic - the lg of the people.
Koine - a lingua franca dialect arising through dialect mixture and
levelling
Prakrit - the Vulgar form of Sanskrit (not necessarily a *descendant* of
classical Sanskrit)

As I said, Nibboan is all these things, and Livagian is the Classical/Sanskrit
counterpart. But note that they are not analogous to Demotiki and Katharevousa;
or at least, Livagian is emphatically not comparable to Katharevousa.
