	An [[A priori\|a priori ~~language~~]] is any constructed language whose vocabulary is not based on existing languages, unlike [[A posteriori\|a posteriori]] constructed languages.		An '''a priori''' language (from [[w:Latin language\|Latin]] [[wikt:a priori\|a priori]] - from the former) is any constructed language whose vocabulary is not based on existing languages, unlike [[A posteriori\|a posteriori]] constructed languages.

	Examples of famous a priori languages include [[Ro]], [[Solresol]], [[Mirad]], [[Klingon]], and [[Na'vi]]. By contrast, a posteriori languages are ones whose vocabulary is based on existing languages, either as a variation of one language (e.g., [[Latino sine flexione]]) or as a mixture of various languages.
