Re: What to Call Non-Conlangers

I like Muke's "nonlanger". Natlanger, while a sensible construction,
still feels too active to me. Natlanging implies the creation of
natlangs, which makes no sense. A nonlanger, on the other hand,
simply doesn't bother with langs at all.
On second thought, a natlanger could be someone who shows great
interest in natlangs and learns several of them. A distant cousin
of the conlanger, so to speak.
