A kitchen sink language is a language that has "everything including a kitchen sink", a pejorative that refers to languages that are excessively complex. Though naturalistic languages often do have very complex phonology[1], morphology and/or grammar, kitchen sink languages are constructed languages that are complex without adding more depth or for no good reason.
