tagons
Tagons are a type of artificial language, often referred to as "conlangs" or constructed languages. They are typically created by an individual or a small group for specific purposes, such as for use in fictional works, for linguistic experimentation, or as an international auxiliary language. Unlike natural languages, which evolve organically over time within communities, tagons have a consciously designed structure and vocabulary. The design process for a tagon can involve anything from creating a unique phonetic system and grammar to developing a completely new writing system. The complexity and realism of tagons vary widely. Some are simple codes or ciphers, while others are highly developed with extensive vocabularies and intricate grammatical rules, aiming for a level of naturalness. The term "tagon" itself is not a widely standardized term within linguistics, and is sometimes used interchangeably with other terms like "artificial language" or "constructed language." Examples of well-known constructed languages include Esperanto, which was designed to be an easy-to-learn international auxiliary language, and Klingon from the Star Trek franchise, created for fictional world-building. The creation and study of tagons fall under the field of conlanging.
