Apart from Esperanto, and Klingon, are there any other widely known artificial languages ? If this has been dicussed before, I couldn't find the thread.
As Esperanto is heavily influenced by the Indo European languages, has any attempt been made to construct an Artificial language based on a different language family ? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Blissymbol · Enochian · Esperanto · Glosa · Ido · Interlingua · Ithkuil · Klingon · Láadan · Lingua Franca Nova · Lingua Ignota · Loglan · Lojban · Nadsat · Newspeak · Novial · Quenya · Sindarin · Solresol · Teonaht · Toki Pona · Verdurian · Volapük Good ol' Wikipedia :-) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Yes, Quenya is based on Finnish for all I know. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks Rob. My Wikipedia search skills need a lot of training. I never heard of Blissymbol before, but now I'm fascinated.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blissymbol I wonder could if be used as a metalanguage, so once mastered, it would be used to annotate a text rather then an L1 ? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Slovio is an artificial pan slavic language, supposed to be comprehensible to all Slav and Baltic language speakers. What I have read in it would suggest that is probably true.

Is it right to say that Esperanto is an Indo European language?

No, for several reasons. - It's artificial/constructed, so didn't directly descend/evolve from any language. - The grammar is rather unlike that of any Indo-European language I'm aware of. The vocabulary is fairly Indo-European, but the way words are constructed is not. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

What about the elf languages Tolkien created for Lord of the Rings. They're are people that write and speak in these Elf languages to other people that understand these languages.
