Ithjuil is wrong edit

Ithkuil says "was designed for maximum morpho-phonological conciseness.", the language was created to 1-Test saphir wolf theory 2-be as logical as much as possible while caring about rule 1. 3-maximum morpho-phonological conciseness as much as possible while caring about rule 1 and 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.79.57.11 (talk) 22:40, 18 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Initial version edit

Most of the initial content of this page was split off from linguistic relativity simply because it didn't really belong there and it really needed its own page. Hpvpp (talk) 00:38, 28 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

removed unsourced/OR/fork prod edit

  • All relevant content was found on other pages so therefore neither unsourced nor original research apply
  • the page is not a content fork because (i) it expands on linguistic relativity and (ii) that page is too big already
  • the page is not a POV fork

Even if content was copied from other pages, it still must comply with standards for original research, verifiability, reliable sources etc. Other Wikipedia pages are not appropriate sources. Cnilep (talk) 13:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
The material brought over here was not about "experimental languages" (a concept I don't believe exists in any meaningful sense); it was about discussions of language-related science fiction clearly related to linguistic relativity, the article in which that material belongs. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:36, 29 May 2010 (UTC)Reply
As I said on your talk page User talk:Orangemike#Fictional_presence_in_linguistic_relativity, the concept of “experimental language” already existed before my split off: Engineered language#Experimental languages. If you deny that the concept exists I suggest you start a discussion on the talk page there. And if you want to rename this page, that is fine by me. The main purpose was to get the list off linguistic relativity simply because the article had grown too big and condensing the list to a summary makes a clean up more manageable.

Ascian edit

In The Citadel of the Autarch, by Gene Wolfe, one of the characters (an Ascian) speaks entirely in slogans,

Citadel is the last of four books in the saga. I never got past two, The Claw of the Conciliator, but I remember the Ascian's parable. Of course there probably are also Ascians in later parts. —Tamfang (talk) 04:50, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
