"A constructed language (shortened to conlang) is a language whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, instead of having developed naturally, are consciously devised for some purpose."
These are languages that have been deliberately created by an individual or group for a specific purpose, such as Esperanto, Klingon, and Dothraki.
Phonetics: The study of speech sounds used in a particular language and how they are produced and perceived.
Phonology: The study of the sound systems of language, including the rules for combining sounds.
Morphology: The study of word structure, including the rules for word formation and inflection.
Syntax: The study of how words combine to form sentences in a particular language, including the rules for word order and agreement.
Semantics: The study of meaning in language, including how words and sentences convey meaning.
Pragmatics: The study of how context influences the interpretation of language.
Orthography: The study of writing systems, including the conventions for spelling and punctuation.
Etymology: The study of the history and origin of words.
Language Typology: The study of how languages are classified based on their structural features.
Conlang Design: The process of creating a constructed language, including the development of phonetics, grammar, and vocabulary.
"There are many possible reasons to create a constructed language, such as to ease human communication, to give fiction or an associated constructed setting an added layer of realism, for experimentation in the fields of linguistics, cognitive science, and machine learning, for artistic creation, and for language games."
"Planned languages (or engineered languages/engelangs) are languages that have been purposefully designed; they are the result of deliberate, controlling intervention and are thus a form of language planning."
"A constructed language may also be referred to as an artificial, planned, or invented language, or (in some cases) a fictional language."
"The term language planning means the prescriptions given to a natural language to standardize it; in this regard, even a 'natural language' may be artificial in some respects, meaning some of its words have been crafted by conscious decision."
"The expression planned language is sometimes used to indicate international auxiliary languages and other languages designed for actual use in human communication."
"Some people may also make constructed languages as a hobby."
"For example, the Hungarian census of 2011 found 8,397 speakers of Esperanto, and the census of 2001 found 10 of Romanid, two each of Interlingua and Ido and one each of Idiom Neutral and Mundolinco."
"The Russian census of 2010 found that there were in Russia about 992 speakers of Esperanto (on place 120)."
"The term glossopoeia is also used to mean language construction, particularly the construction of artistic languages."
"Prescriptive grammars, which date to ancient times for classical languages such as Latin and Sanskrit, are rule-based codifications of natural languages."
"A constructed language (conlang) is a language whose phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, instead of having developed naturally, are consciously devised for some purpose."
"The goal of language planning is to standardize a natural language and may involve crafting new words by conscious decision."

"There are many possible reasons to create a constructed language, such as to ease human communication, give fiction an added layer of realism, and for artistic creation."
"Planned languages have been purposefully designed, resulting from deliberate, controlling intervention, whereas natural languages develop naturally."
