'''Českoen''' is more of a semi-spooflang, in the sense that it was created with a whole history behind it. It was supposed to be very simple and analytic, but with a tradition that claimed it was indeed quite complex and a "school" trying to revive awareness of its complexity, I had fun parodying notions of "better languages" or "complex = good". In its backstory the ''Ezgizo Ezgeskoinama'' school fought the ''Azgizu'' school for control over the teaching of the language. The idea was a language that sounded pretty much like [[w:Huttese|Jabba the Hutt's Huttese]] but with minimal class prefixes for noun and adjective, singular and plural.
'''Českoen''' is an [[a priori]] [[Artistic language|artlang]] supposed to be very simple and [[w:Analytic languages|analytic]]. However, speakers of the language hold on to the idea that the language used to be quite complex in the past with a School trying to bring awareness of its once lost complexity. The language pokes fun at the conceit that "complexity" makes a "better language" and also that the complexity can only be determined in one subjective set of parameters (mostly imitating ancient European languages).

This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

In its backstory the ''Ezgizo Ezgeskoinama'' school fought the ''Azgizu'' school for control over the teaching of the language. The idea was a language that sounded pretty much like [[w:Huttese|Jabba the Hutt's Huttese]] but with minimal class prefixes for noun and adjective, with singular and plural numbers. Many of other features of the language are hinted as being retro-fitted by the ''Ezgizo Ezgeskoinama'' school in a kind of attempt to make the language "more complex" or "more on par with languages of other international powers", but are mostly hypercorrections or full-on arbitrary creations by grammarians.
