Heh, I like the idea of "conlangers" vs "nonlangers", technically

Ha! I think this one's the best. First, it rhymes. Second, even
though it would seem to technically imply that these are people
without language, the only people who use "prefix-lang" are
conlangers, so it seems like the "-lang" suffix implies conlanging,
even in a word like "natlang". Yeah, my vote is for nonlanger
(not that we're voting).
