About conlanging and the Language Creation Society

Conlanging is the creation of constructed languages or conlangs, such as Esperanto, Dothraki, Toki Pona, Lojban, or Klingon. A conlanger is someone who creates or constructs languages or conlangs. The Language Creation Society (LCS) is a non-profit worldwide organization for conlangers, would-be conlangers, those interested in or curious about conlangs, and anything else to do with conlanging; conlang.org is our primary website.

The primary purpose of the LCS is the promotion and furthering of the art, craft and science of language creation (conlanging) through conferences, books, journals, outreach activities, or other means. We welcome you to our diverse and inclusive global community!
