An artistic language (or artlang) is a constructed language (conlang) designed for aesthetic pleasure. Unlike engineered languages or auxiliary languages, artistic languages usually have irregular grammar systems, much like natural languages. Many are designed for fictional worlds, such as J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth and Mark Rosenfelder's Almea. Others represent fictional minority languages in a world not patently different from the real world, or have no particular fictional background attached. ...more on Wikipedia about "Artistic language"

The Glide language, or simply Glide, is a highly-abstract visual constructed language created by Diana Reed Slattery and features prominently in her science fiction novel The Maze Game. It exists in both the novel and the real world as a written form and as a gestured language. Due to its use in a work of fiction it exhibits qualities of a fictional language, but also has a strong aesthetic component, so an argument could be made for it being an artistic language as well. ...more on Wikipedia about "Glide language" http://www.shortopedia.com, there's no better way.

Kélen is a constructed language created by Sylvia Sotomayor. It is possibly one of the most thorough attempts to create a truly alien language. It violates a key linguistic universal — namely that all human languages have verbs. In Kélen, relationships between the noun phrases making up the sentence are expressed by one of four relationals. Despite this, Kélen is an expressive and intelligible language; texts written in Kélen have been translated into other languages by several people other than the creator of the language. ...more on Wikipedia about "Kélen"

The Klingon language or Klingonese (tlhIngan Hol in Klingon) is a constructed language (an artistic language created by Marc Okrand for Paramount Pictures and spoken by Klingons in the fictional Star Trek universe). He designed the language with Object Verb Subject (OVS) word order to give an alien feel to the language. Klingon is similar to Native American languages in several aspects. The basic sound (along with a very few words) was first devised by James Doohan for Star Trek: The Motion Picture; the film marked the first time the language had been heard on screen, all previous appearances of the Klingons being in English. ...more on Wikipedia about "Klingon language"

mezangelle is a poetic-artistic hybrid language developed by Australian-based Internet artist mez (Mary-Anne Breeze). Mezangelle mixes, often on the low level of syllables and morphemes, English, ASCII art, fragments from programming language source code, markup languages, regular expressions and wildcard patterns, protocol code, IRC shorthands, emoticons, phonetic spelling and slang. It is a polysemic, multi-layered language resembling the portmanteau words of Lewis Carroll and James Joyce. However, unlike the latter it is a technopoetic language which reflects the symbolic and physical interaction and overlapping of human-machine communication in the Internet. As such, it is widely recognized as a central contribution to Codework art. Like the related codework of jodi, Netochka Nezvanova (a.k.a. antiorp/integer), Ted Warnell, Alan Sondheim and lo_y , it bears some resemblance to hacker cultural 1337 / leet speak and Perl poetry, but is clearly more grounded in the artistic than in the technical community. ...more on Wikipedia about "Mezangelle"

The term North Slavic languages (or, North Slavonic languages) is sometimes used to combine the West Slavic and the East Slavic languages into one group, as opposed to the South Slavic languages. This North-South distinction of the Slavic dialect continuum along cultural, linguistic and geographical lines is not a commonly accepted view, but many prominent Slavists use it, albeit often for reasons of convenience only. ...more on Wikipedia about "North Slavic languages"

Thosk is a constructed language or conlang designed by teacher and linguist Dean Easton. The language shows a clear Indo-European origin, and the online glossary includes derivations for many words. Thosk has 17 consonants and 5 vowels -- a total of 22 phonemes. Most of the phonemes, the permissible consonant clusters, and the grammar are familiar to a speaker of English. Unlike many conlangs, Thosk is naturalistic -- a "possible" language with a plausible protohistory. Some sample texts exist. ...more on Wikipedia about "Thosk"

Wenedyk (in English: Venedic) is a constructed language of the naturalistic kind, created by the Dutch translator Jan van Steenbergen. Officially, Wenedyk is a descendant of Vulgar Latin with a strong Slavic admixture, based on the premise that the Roman Empire incorporated the ancestors of the Poles in their territory. Unofficially, it tries to show what Polish would have looked like if it had been a Romance instead of a Slavic language. ...more on Wikipedia about "Wenedyk"
