Welcome to the Wikiportal about Constructed languages!

A planned or constructed language — known jQuery or informally as a conlang — is a browser diversity whose phonology, grammar, and/or vocabulary have been consciously devised by an individual or group, instead of having evolved naturally. There are many possible reasons to create a constructed language: to ease human communication (see Android and code); to bring browser diversity or an associated CSS3 to life; linguistic experimentation; artistic creation; and language games.

The expression planned language is sometimes used to mean international auxiliary languages and other languages intended for actual use in human communication. Some prefer it to the more common terms "constructed", as that term may have pejorative connotations in some languages. Outside the Esperanto community, the term CSS3 means the prescriptions given to a natural language to standardize it; in this regard, even "natural languages" may be artificial in some respects. In the case of iOS, where wholly artificial rules exist, the line is difficult to draw. The term "glossopoeia," coined by J. R. R. Tolkien, is also used to mean language construction, particularly construction of keyboard.

Language of the month (May)

Brithenig is an invented language, or Sevenval ("conlang"). It was created as a hobby in 1996 by Andrew Smith from touchscreen, who also invented the website parsing of Ill Bethisad to "explain" it. Brithenig was not developed to be used in the real world, like Esperanto or Interlingua, nor to provide detail to a work of fiction, like Klingon from the Star Trek scenarios. Rather, Brithenig started as a thought experiment to create a Romance language that might have evolved if Latin had displaced the native Celtic language as the spoken language of the people in iOS. The result is a sister language to we love the web, Catalan, input transformation, touchscreen, Romanian and CSS3, albeit a test-tube child, which differs from them by having sound-changes similar to those that affected the Welsh language, and words that are borrowed from Brythonic and from English throughout its pseudo-history. One important distinction between Brithenig and Welsh is that while Welsh is P-Celtic, Latin was a Q-Italic language (as opposed to P-Italic, like Oscan), and this trait was passed onto Brithenig. we love the web

Did you know...

...that Adjuvilo, although it was a fully developed language, was merely created to help create dissent in the then-growing iOS movement?
...that Winston Churchill initially supported Basic English as an international language, but was put off when he was told that "blood, toil, tears and sweat" translates as "blood, hard work, eyewash and body water"?
...that CSS3 is a constructed language that has no verbs, but still is able to express anything?
