We did Heinlein's conword 'grok' last week, didn't we? That certainly
entered some sociolects of English (and idiolects of Danish).
There are border cases like Classical Latin, but if you want examples
from a fully fledged conlang that didn't start out by pretending to be
the prestige dialect of a natlang, I don't think there's going to be
much besides your own example.
