keeleväljamõeldusi

Keeleväljamõeldusi, a term originating from Estonian linguistics, refers to hypothetical or constructed languages that are not naturally evolved but are intentionally created. These can range from simple linguistic experiments to elaborate fictional languages developed for various purposes. The creation of such languages is often driven by a desire to explore the boundaries of linguistic structure, to serve as a tool for communication in fictional worlds, or to test linguistic theories.

The term encompasses a broad spectrum of invented languages, including auxiliary languages designed for international communication, such as Esperanto, and artistic languages, often created by authors and linguists for literary works or personal enjoyment. Constructed languages can also be used in cryptography, for secret communication, or as a form of intellectual challenge. The process of creating a keeleväljamõeldus typically involves defining its phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon. Some constructed languages aim to be logical and regular, while others seek to mimic the irregularities and nuances of natural languages. The study and creation of these languages fall under the field of constructed languages, or conlanging.
