Example Sentences
- "In linguistics, such a language, which does not directly stem from forgotten prehistory or is not the result of the evolution of one language into another over generations, but goes back to a conscious act of language planning, is called a planned language[…]. Outside interlinguistics, the field of their study, such systems are also referred to as “artificial languages”, “constructed languages”, “international auxiliary languages (IALs)”, “universal languages”, or “conlangs”."
