artificial languages
Deliberately created languages
Artificial languages are languages deliberately constructed rather than naturally evolved.
Some are designed for international communication (Esperanto, Volapük), others for logical precision (Lojban), fiction (Klingon, Elvish), or linguistic experimentation.
The term contrasts with natural languages like English or Mandarin, which developed organically over centuries.
Also called constructed languages or conlangs.
