The Academia pro Interlingua was an organization dedicated to the promotion of international auxiliary languages, and is associated in particular with Prof. Giuseppe Peano's language Latino sine flexione (Latin without flexions). The Academia was a descendant of the Kadem bevünetik volapüka (International Academy of Volapük) created at a Volapük congress in Munich in August 1887. Under Waldemar Rosenberger, who became the director in 1892, this group had transformed Volapük into Idiom Neutral and changed its name to Akademi Internasional de Lingu Universal in 1898. ...more on Wikipedia about "Academia pro Interlingua"

An artificial or constructed script (also conscript or neography) is a new writing system specifically created by an individual or group, rather than having evolved as part of a culture like a natural script. They are often designed for use with conlangs, although several of them are used in linguistic experimentation or for other more practical ends. Some, such as the Shavian alphabet, Alphabet 26, and the Deseret alphabet, were devised as English spelling reforms. Others, including Alexander Melville Bell's Visible Speech and John Malone's Unifon were developed for pedagogical use. Blissymbols were developed as a written international auxiliary language. Shorthand systems may be considered conscripts. ...more on Wikipedia about "Artificial script"

Blissymbolics or Blissymbols were conceived of as an ideographic writing system consisting of several hundred basic symbols, each representing a concept, which can be composed together to generate new symbols that represent new concepts. Blissymbols differ from all the world's major writing systems in that the characters do not directly correspond to the sounds of any spoken language. ...more on Wikipedia about "Blissymbols"

Boontling is a folk language spoken only in Boonville, California. Although based on English, Boontling's unusual words are completely unique to Boonville. It was invented in the late 1800s and had quite a following at the turn of the century. Now it is only spoken by aging counter-culturists and original residents. Because the town of Boonville only has a little over 700 residents, Boontling is an extremely esoteric, and quickly becoming archaic language that has over a thousand unique words and phrases. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boontling"

Ceqli is a constructed language created by Rex F. May. It was originally inspired by Loglan. Its name is pronounced "cheng-lee", a blend of the names "Chinese" and "English", expressing that the grammar of Ceqli is mostly based on those two languages. On the isolation- synthesis spectrum, Ceqli is closer to isolating than synthetic; there is no inflection, but Ceqli does derive new words by compounding. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ceqli"
The Characteristica Universalis or "Universal Character" was the peak of Gottfried Leibniz's Enlightenment project. This intended pasigraphy might have been a written ideographic language, rather than spoken, perhaps based on a rationalisation of supposed principles of Chinese characters as Europeans were familiar to them in the seventeenth century. With this Leibniz aimed to produce a universal symbolism and language of science, mathematics and metaphysics which could be used with his Calculus Ratiocinator. These symbols could be connected to form maps, diagrams or pictures which would depict any system at any scale, and could be understood by any nationality. As Leibniz wrote, ...more on Wikipedia about "Characteristica universalis"
CONLANG is the name of an e-mail list devoted to the discussion of constructed languages of all kinds (except that 'evangelism' of auxiliary languages, such as Esperanto, is disapproved of), and linguistics in general.

Its archives are located at a server in Brown University. ...more on Wikipedia about "CONLANG"

An artificial or constructed language (known colloquially as a conlang among aficionados), is a language whose phonology, grammar and vocabulary are specifically devised by an individual or small group, rather than having naturally evolved as part of a culture as with natural languages. Some are designed for use in human communication (usually to function as international auxiliary languages), but others are created for use in fiction, linguistic experimentation, secrecy ( codes), or for the experience of doing so ( artistic languages, language games). These languages are sometimes associated with constructed worlds. ...more on Wikipedia about "Constructed language"

An international auxiliary language (sometimes abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) is a language used (or to be used in the future) for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common native language. Although proposals have been made for existing languages to serve as an official international auxiliary language, the concept has been most commonly associated with constructed languages such as Esperanto which were designed from the beginning to serve this purpose. Proponents of Esperanto often use the term planned language instead, derived from the Esperanto word planlingvo (but this is somewhat ambiguous since it could also refer to a standardized ethnic language or constructed languages in general). ...more on Wikipedia about "International auxiliary language"
International Sign (IS) (also Gestuno, International Sign Language (ISL) and International Gesture (IG)) is an international auxiliary language sometimes used by deaf people at global forums such as the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD), international events such as the Deaflympic games, and informally when travelling and socialising. It can be seen as a kind of pidgin sign language. ...more on Wikipedia about "International Sign"
(Langmaker) is a website maintained by Jeffrey Henning and a staff of volunteers, focussing on constructed languages, also known as model languages or conlangs. One of its key features is a database of over 1,000 constructed languages; there are also resources for conlangers, reviews, a blog, and the Tower of Babel text in many conlangs. Also included is a smaller database of neographies, many of which relate to the conlangs featured on the site. ...more on Wikipedia about "Langmaker"
