An '''a posteriori''' language (from [[w:Latin language|Latin]] [[wikt:a posteriori]] - from the later), according to [[w:Louis Couturat|Louis Couturat]], is any [[constructed language]] whose elements are borrowed or based on existing languages, as opposed to the [[A priori|''a priori'' languages]].

The ''a posteriori'' languages can be divided into three categories:
* Simplified ethnic languages, like [[w:Basic English|Basic English]] or [[Latino sine flexione]]
* Naturalistic languages, i.e. closest to the real ethnic languages (most often Latin or Romance languages), like the [[Occidental|Occidental language]] or [[Interlingua]]
* Autonomous (schematic) languages, in which grammar is ''a priori'' but vocabulary is ''a posteriori'', like [[Esperanto]] or, to some extent, [[Volapük]].

In distinguishing whether the language is ''a priori'' or ''a posteriori'' the prevalence and distribution of respectable traits is often the key.
