| |
| Philosophical languages are designed to reflect some aspect of philosophy, particularly with respect to the nature or potential of any given language. [[John Wilkins]]' [[An Essay towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language|Real Character]] and Edward Powell Foster's [[Ro (language)|Ro]] constructed their words using a taxonomic tree. Vocabularies of [[oligosynthetic]] languages, for example Ygyde,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ygyde.neostrada.pl/index.htm|title=Ygyde Language|date=May 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201123174725/http://www.ygyde.neostrada.pl/index.htm|archive-date=November 23, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/ygyde/ygyde.htm|title=Ygyde Language|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160201111356/http://www.medianet.pl/~andrew/ygyde/ygyde.htm|archive-date=February 1, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> are made of [[compound word]]s, which are coined from a small (theoretically minimal) set of [[morpheme]]s. Sonja Lang's [[Toki Pona]] is based on [[minimalism|minimalistic]] [[voluntary simplicity|simplicity]].

| |
|
| |
| An experimental language is a [[constructed language]] designed for the purpose of exploring some element in the theory of [[linguistics]]. Most such languages are concerned with the relation between [[language and thought]]; however, languages have been constructed to explore other aspects of language as well. In [[science fiction]], much work has been done on the assumption popularly known as the [[Sapir–Whorf hypothesis]], [[Suzette Haden Elgin]]'s [[Láadan]] is designed to lexicalize and grammaticalize the concepts and distinctions important to women, based on [[muted group theory]].
