A Constructed Language (Conlang for short) is a Language which instead of evolving was artificially constructed by someone. A Constructed Language is more than just a list of alternate words ("Blorb" means "Cat", "Sklot" means "Dog", etc), but also includes rules of Grammar and Syntax.
List of Constructed Language[edit | edit source]
- Esperanto: A Serious-Pants attempt to build a universal language in the late 19th century. In truth, it largely gained support with linguistics nerds and Red Dwarf fans.
- Elvish: Various elvish tongues were written by JRR Tolkien, much of what would eventually grow into The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings was originally concieved as the historic framework charting the evolution of his languages.
- Quenya
- Telerin
- Sindarin
- Klingon (tlhIngan Hol): Put together in the 1985 by Marc Okrand in part from the ad-libbed dialogue of the first few Star Trek movies. One of the most popular Conlangs. Very rough and guttural.
- Mando'a: A very straightforward but effective language spoke by the Mandalorian, designed to be used in combat. It was created for the video game Star Wars: Republic Commando and was introduce for the first time by the song known as "Vode An" (Brothers All). To give you an idea of how warlike were the Mandalorian, they said "Su cuy'gar" (pronounced Soo COO-ee-gar) as a greeting, which literally mean "You're still alive".
- Na'vi(Lìʼfya leNaʼvi): Made for Avatar.
