Constructed Languages Linguistics

Constructed

Constructed Languages (ConLangs) are languages which do not belong to a specific nation or ethnic group, but rather are the creation, and thus, sole property of the ConLang enthusiast who conceived the vocabulary, phonetics, and the grammar of the language. Some well-known ConLangs include Esperanto, Klingon, and Tolkien's Elvish Tongues. (Not necessarily in order of popularity.)
