Constructed languages

Sinampaiton

Sinampaiton is an "artlang" -- a language created as a "work of art" -- that I started working on a couple of decades ago.

Notable features

These are a few of the more noteworthy characteristics of Sinampaiton:

Examples

Each example includes an interlinear morphological analysis (lines 2-3) that may be of interest to linguistically-oriented readers. Others may prefer to ignore them.

Nonce languages

Information on a few nonce languages is available. These are mere fragments of languages, put together quickly (for the most part) in order to explore some particularly interesting aspect of language.
