Directory of Fictional Resources

Home > Science > Social Sciences > Linguistics > Languages > Constructed > Fictional

Fictional languages are created, generally by an individual but sometimes by a group, and not intended primarily as a means of international communication (see International Auxiliary) but as a work of art, a component of a work of fiction, or a tool to study the workings of language. Also included may be attempts to resurrect dead languages, if there is a significant creative effort involved.
