Huh?   I was under the impression that this type of language already
*had* an official name--so much so that in my conlang presentation
I presented the word as the "real" word.   Was I wrong?

Oh, by the way, the word is "histlang".   Covers alternate histories, or
imagined histories (or possible futures...?) of this actual Earth.   "Fake-
lang" sounds really pejorative.
