New page

A '''planned''' or '''constructed language''' (sometimes called a conlang) is a [[language]] whose [[phonology]], [[grammar]], and [[vocabulary]] have been consciously devised for human or human-like communication, instead of having developed naturally.

It is also referred to as an artificial or invented language.

== Description ==

There are many possible reasons to create a constructed language, such as:

* To ease human communication (see international auxiliary language and code)
* 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
* For [[language game|language games]]

The expression planned language is sometimes used to mean international auxiliary languages and other languages designed for actual use in human communication.

Some prefer it to the term "artificial", as that term may have pejorative connotations in some languages.

Outside Esperanto culture, the term language planning means the prescriptions given to a natural language to standardize it; in this regard, even "natural languages" may be artificial in some respects.

[[Prescriptive grammars]], which date to ancient times for classical languages such as [[Latin]] and [[Sanskrit]], are rule-based codifications of natural languages, such codifications being a middle ground between naive natural selection and development of language and its explicit construction.

The term glossopoeia is also used to mean language construction, particularly construction of artistic languages.
