runbau (in Lojban) or conlang (short form for constructed language)

human language which is not natural language.

Classification

Conlangs are sometimes divided into three groups:

  • artlangs, those devised for artistic purposes -- either per se, or for use in fiction.

Really for artistic purposes? Its purpose seems to have been IAL, the "esthetic" side - the musical version -- was partly practical (tone carries farther than words and is easier to pick out in a noisy environment) and partly either a bad joke or a misunderstanding of the claim that music is the universal language (which is clearly false even when rightly understood).

These categories are of course overlapping.
