zjelje khavj na, literally "Constructed Language"

language make (DESC marker)

zjelje khavj na'k might be used for "Conlanger", "constructed language person", though I think I'd prefer to use zjelje khavj na'ysk, which is literally something more like "constructed language artist" emphasising the creativity inherit in the practice.

Alternatively a more formal way of explaining it could be khavyk (or khavysk) zjelje khavj na, "maker/artist of constructed languages".

"Artimataq."

"Artimataqpez."

Do note that the second one could be confused for "a person who speaks a conlang." Also, you can make a verb meaning "to conlang"--it would be "Mataqartiya."

:ita: Italiano -

lingua artificiale = conlang

la glossopoiesi = conlanging

il glottoteta = conlanger


:esp: Español-

ideolengua = conlang

lengua construida = conlang

conlengua was proposed on this board as well


ideolingüista = conlanger

But also, based on the possible Greek options, we could also have

glosopoeta, glosotecto = conlanger


glosopoesía, glosotectura = language construction

glosopoético, glosotectónico = having to do with the construction of a language
ideolingüístico = having to do with a constructed language

:zho: Mandarin

There seems to be two words for "conlang", with similar etymologies:

人工语言
réngōng yǔyán
[ʐən˧˥kʊŋ˥ (ɥ)y˨˩jɛn˧˥]
artificial language
conlang

人造语言
rénzào yǔyán
[ʐən˧˥t͡sɑʊ̯˥˩ (ɥ)y˨˩jɛn˧˥]
artificial language
conlang

人工 and 人造 both mean "man-made" or "artificial". 人工 is literally "person work", while 人造 is literally "person make".

I'm not sure what the Mandarin word for "conlanger" is, but since 者 zhě [ʈ͡ʂɤ˨˩˦] is a common suffix for people who do something or are involved in something, similar to -er in English, I would guess that it would be 人工语言者 or 人造语言者.
