Lists of languages Lists of languages 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 endangered language is a language with so few surviving speakers that it is in danger of falling out of use.

This ancestor is very seldom known to us directly, since most languages have a very short recorded history. However, it is possible to recover many of its features by applying the comparative method — a reconstructive procedure worked out by 19th-century linguist August Schleicher. This can demonstrate the validity of many of the proposed families listed below. ...more on Wikipedia about "Language family"
