Some linguists classify this not as a separate language, but as a dialect/sociolect of Schlaub. However, fT 2700 Schlaub (let alone even fT 2400 Schlaub) is not mutually intelligible with Wug Nlab, causing this classification to fail. In addition, due to the completely different system of grammatical particles it can be difficult to understand Wug Nlab for a purely Schlaub speaker. | Some linguists classify this not as a separate language, but as a dialect/sociolect of Schlaub.

To mirror the Hlou-Shum languages being spoofs of Indo-European languages under a somewhat Hmongic framework, Cole decided to spoof his old conlang [[Riemannic]] in this manner. His first idea was a slightly divergent Hlouic language with loans from [[Windermere]], but it was shortly scrapped because he felt it wouldn't work (and also partly due to his inexperience with Windermere). | To mirror the Hlou-Shum languages being spoofs of Indo-European languages under a somewhat Hmongic framework, Cole decided to spoof his old conlang [[Riemannic]] in this manner.

His next idea was to make Hlou Riemannic mathematically-based, which initially was the concept for Quintlanic. However, due to the fact that he ran out of ideas (or rather, was too overwhelmed with bad ideas) for Quintlanic, he decided to merge that project with his favourite conlang [[Schlaub]] to form a kind of "Future Schlaub", if you will. | His next idea was to make Hlou Riemannic mathematically-based, which initially was the concept for Quintlanic, a scrapped conlang sketch.

The music theorist and linguist Soha Plu designed a concept of a philosophical language (''Wug Bub'' as he called it) while he was on sabbatical in Quintlopetl (Hlou: ''Klin-Tlän'').

This resulted in the loss of early 21st-century English as a lingua franca on Earth, which was quickly replaced with [[Clofabosin]] on both worlds. However, it did not enjoy the status of a lingua franca as Scellan and English previously. | ||
The sociopolitical superpowers of both worlds decided to try making lingua francas of their own, and the Europeans and the Hlou-Shum were the first to create them. Unlike Esperanto a few hundred years before, their conlangs - Akademiesprache and Wug Nlab respectively - were much more successful in reach. The former was created by the applied mathematicians, biologists, chemists, and specialists in other applied fields, and Wug Nlab was created by pure mathematicians, physicists, programmers, and specialists in other 'pure' fields. | |||
What is notable is the inclusion of astronomers and musicians in the group that created Wug Nlab, which could be a kind of revival of the quadrivium. However, they did not have much imagination: they decided to use Plu's ''Wug Bub'' as one of its bases. | |||

Arguably, fT 2400 Schlaub can be considered a 'register' of Wug Nlab as almost every word in the former is contained in the latter. This holds with the exception of Wug Nlab's system of grammatical particles and other words. However, the orthography is not the same, and there are a few homophones between fT 2400 Schlaub and Wug Nlab's "native" words. | Arguably, fT 2400 Schlaub can be considered a 'register' of Wug Nlab as almost every word in the former is contained in the latter.
