a language built on purpose, because the ones you were born into weren't weird enough.
means a constructed language deliberately invented by a person or group, rather than evolved naturally over centuries.
from short for constructed language, the term rose with online fandom culture in the 90s, though the practice goes back to Hildegard von Bingen's 12th-century Lingua Ignota and Zamenhof's Esperanto in 1887.
