Curious about model languages? Here's the ones you should study first.
1. Esperanto - more staying power, more longevity, more speakers, more imitators than any other model language.
2. Quenya - the most beautiful sounding model language, spoken by one of the most compelling fictional races ever portrayed (Elves).
3. Nadsat - the best invented slang, with great-sounding words, artfully derived.
4. Klingon - the most commercially successful model language. It helped transform the Klingons from cardboard villains in Classic Trek to a fascinating warrior culture.
5. Solresol - the cleverest pasigraphy (a philosophical language), the earliest model language to be successful and the most likely to be learned by Julie Andrews.
6. Lojban - the most professional and thought-provoking of the modern logical languages, with a fascinating methodology for its original word derivation.
7. Talossa - the most detailed fictional language, a Gallo-Romance offshoot with over 20,000 words of vocabulary and a well-developed grammar.
8. Tepa - a unique personal language, professionally designed and presented; highly regarded among the Internet community of language modelers.
9. Vorlin - founded on a well-developed theory of the ideal design features for an international auxiliary language, Vorlin has considerable potential, though it is currently under dramatic re-design.
10. Amman-Iar - the most sophisticated of the fictional languages in terms of creating a historical system of word derivation. Still being designed, Amman-Iar is a promising language, with an interesting grammar.
