Re: Has anyone made a real conlang?

There are - Avesta (used in Zoroastrian rites), Pali (used in Theravada
Buddhist rites), Coptic (used in Coptic Christian rites), ancient Egyptian
(used in revived Kemt rites). More, probably.

But they all were at one time living languages, and could, if necessary be
so again by creating/adopting words for 21st century concepts.

>Some social animals may also use languages which do not change.
The whole animal-talk issue has never yet been settled to everyone's
satisfaction. Yes, some refer to the "language of bees" because the bees
comunicate, but they have an equal number who don't label this "language"
because of it's inflexibilty and inability to convey abstracts.

Have you read any of the books (or ebooks) or a wide selection of WEB sites
(not just one which supports your personal opinion) on the idea before
submitting as part of your argument?
