<p>Flying Raccoon: I fixed some typos, and added in a correction</p> <hr /> <div>A ''' constructed language''', also called an '''artificial''' or '''planned language''' or a '''conlang''',&lt;ref&gt;[http://conlang.org/ Language Creation Society]&lt;/ref&gt; is a [[language]] created by a person or group of people. It is created as a whole, not evolving naturally by being spoken by a group of people over time. <br /> <br /> Constructed languages can be further grouped into ''engineered'', ''auxiliary'' and ''artistic'' languages. <br /> <br /> '''Engineered languages''' are created for the scientific study of and experimentation with language, or logic and philosophy.<br /> <br /> '''Auxiliary languages''' are languages created for (international) communication. Well known auxiliary languages are [[Esperanto]], [[Ido]], and [[Interlingua]]. The first well-known one was [[Volapük]], but the first one was Lingua Ignota.<br /> <br /> '''Artistic languages''' are languages created for aesthetics; languages created for fictional settings mostly also fall in this category. Well-known artistic languages include [[Tolkien's languages|J.R.R. Tolkien's languages]] and ''[[Star Trek]]'s'' [[Klingon]].<br /> <br /> An ''[[a priori]]'' language is created without reference to natural languages, while an ''[[a posteriori]]'' language is based on natural languages. Esperanto is an example of an ''a posteriori'' language.&lt;ref&gt;[http://interlanguages.net/PALvi.html A Planned Auxiliary Language - Chapter VI]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> [[Category:Constructed languages| ]]<br /> [[Category:Language]]</div>
