The Tongilgo Foundation Tongilgo ("unification language") is my vision for a constructed international auxiliary language designed to unite East Asian peoples that speak languages derived from Classical Chinese in the spirit of Latino sine Flexione and Interlingua. You can look at it almost as a "Chinese 2.0," with innovations heavily borrowed from Korean and Japanese.
A comprehensive blog on the creation of a simplistic and easily learned language called Bin Tahr.
This site is dedicated to constructed languages site and includes an FAQ and examples of four of my conlangs: Thosk, Dingwa, Ungil and Ukwe. The art of making constructed languages, also known as invented languages or model languages, is gaining recognition as a result of several well-known examples. These include Tolkien's languages in his fantasy masterpiece The Lord of the Rings; Klingon, created by Marc Okrand for the Star Trek universe; and other noble but less well known examples of the conlanger's art.
Conlanging at its best is indeed both art and craft -- art because, in the end, conlangers strive to satisfy themselves and their own linguistic sensibility first and foremost, and craft because conlanging demands considerable linguistic knowledge and expertise if it is to rise above mere relexification -- that is, recoding an existing language by simply replicating its structure and vocabulary rather than making an original creation. Yes, all art is to some degree imitative and conlang is wholly "original" but moving outside one's own language or language family is the first step in acquiring a substantial palette of linguistic options for accomplished conlanging.
