Kingdom of Kaupelan Kaupelanese is the language of the Kingdom of Kaupelan. It was developed to be assumed as a natural language of the Austronesian family and a language of Eastern Indonesia.
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.
This webpages is the index to a number of new and yet to be created webpages devoted to the developement of New and Fictional (sci-fi or fantasy) languages, wether auxiliary languages or constructed languages.
