:So, do you think we need an article on Engineered languages with subsections on Philosophical languages, Logical languages, and Miscellaneous?  Anyway, if Ithkuil doesn't fit here, then Láadan certainly doesn't.  Láadan might be loosely described as a philosophical language, in that it is based on feminist philosophy, but (unlike Ithkuil, Ro, Wilkins' Real Character, etc., as well as Loglan and Lojban) its grammar and semantics are very naturalistic; it's somewhat more regular than the typical naturally-evolved language, but it has nouns, verbs, adjectives, and a fairly standard case system.  Lojban, Ithkuil and the rest all depart from the way natural languages work far more radically than Láadan or most of the IALs like Esperanto (some of which could also be described as engineered languages).   |
