The word "Language" is built on ancient words that mean "Tongue." - Language Languages "Language Barrier" Interlanguage Interlanguages Paralanguage "Proto-Language" Paralanguages "Proto-Languages"

Tolkien's languages can be described as "Con-Langs"---a portmanteau of "Constructed Languages." - ConLangs, with the same wordroot as ConLang - Popular conlangs include Esperanto, Klingon, N'avi, Dothraki (from GAME OF THRONES?) ... Tolkien's con-langs were Lhammas, Valarin, Adûnaic, Rohirric, Westron, Khuzdul, Entish, Black Speech (how Sauron speaks, devolving into uninteligible Orkish dialects).

"Constructed" is built a wordroot that means "to Pile up With or -Together." - the same wordroot as Construct, Constructs, Constructing, Reconstruct, Reconstructs, Reconstructed, Reconstructing

The most successful constructed Language are Esperanto which has 100 thousand speakers and Klingon which is 30 fluent speakers. Please stop doing the tags, its irritating, People are already reporting you thinking you are a bot. Post like a normal person. I have war ptsd,I am in the autism spectrum because of Inbreeding of my ancestors,I have ADHD and OCD yet I speak like a normal person. Those X tags makes me feel like I am having seizures.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who was wondering if this was a bot or AI-written post. It's like 4 short sentences and 3 paragraphs worth of tags.

I think another quite successful constructed language would be Valyrian, the language spoken by the Targaryens in the Game of Thrones world. I know it's offered as a language on Duolingo.

Too bad you don't think you can fit all that 'meta'-content into a PM or an otherwise 'thumbs up' reputation note. (I realize maybe I ought to have done that here ... or am I a bot )

I put those x-tags in because the search-function doesn't work for hashtags. Is there a way TO tag 'the words I report the etymologies-of' here (so that 'searching for them' ONLY brings up the entry where I report the etymology)?... maybe using the 'word' wordroot in those entries, and then listing all the related words.

e.g. "Word" has an ancient wordroot that means "to Speak, Say (see Verb)." - like Words, Worded, Wording, Buzzword, Keyword, LoanWord, NonceWord, SwearWord, Password, Watchword, Wordcraft, Wordless, Wordplay, Wordsmith, Wordy, Reword.

It's less convenient for me, so forgive me for not 'asking your permission' before I write whatever seems fitting for me to write.

we have no tags system, we are not wordpress or twitter. Just stop making it happen cause it will never happen. Rather than getting views, it makes people avoid your thread.

That sounds something unique and never heard before. Could you add a little more explanation and what the video link talks about?

I wish you would 'quote' the post you're responding-to (rather than just assume--luckily correctly this time--that I know what you're responding-to).

How shall I then find 'the entry I'm looking for' without having to mill through hundreds of entries I'm NOT looking for?

And what if I'm SHARING these on Twitter (where I have thousands of "followers" ... sure, maybe that means only 'dozens' of actual readers; but that's still a few times' more readers than I have on this forum)?

Lindsay Ellis (with PBS's "Storied") praises writer J.R.R. Tolkien for his iconic role in popularizing conlangs (constructed languages).
