Since Tolkien is our patron saint, so to speak, Quenya and Sindarin I
agree should be there. Other than that, any conlang devised by a person
on this list should be on it, regardless of the purpose of said conlang,
so that would include, for example, NGL.

By the very nature of what an auxlang is, that's inevitable. If the
Perfect ConIAL exists, then why would you make another proposal? Why
