A wise decision! However, for some of the languages listed currently as
euroclones this won't work. I mean, Ignota, Nadsat IALs?

Ignota IMO could be one of the following three: superset (because it is a set
word words embedded in Latin), personal, stealth. Oh, wait, I see that it is a
stealth language now! Did you do that today, or have I been wrong all the time?

Nadsat is most definitely a superset language.

I haven't seen all languages on Langmaker.com, not even all the Euroclones, but
I think the following languages can be safely added to the fictional or
fictional diachronic languages category:
Aercant, Aingeljã, Brandonian, Cuërna, Daisilingo, Deviasew, Dosian, Omnesian,
Romantica.

"Chicken" seems more like a case for "Miscellaneous".

Good idea!
(I like Fubarish already! ;) )
