An [[Linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_priori_(languages)|a priori language]] is any constructed language whose vocabulary is not based on existing languages, unlike [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_posteriori_(languages)|a posteriori]] constructed languages. Examples of a priori languages include [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ro_(language)|Ro]], [[Link:hhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solresol|Solresol]], [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirad|Mirad]], [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klingon_language|Klingon]], and [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na'vi_language|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., [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latino_sine_flexione|Latino sine flexione]]) or as a mixture of various languages.

Some a priori languages are designed to be international auxiliary languages that remove what could be considered an unfair learning advantage for native speakers of a source language that would otherwise exist for a posteriori languages. Some a priori languages try to categorize their vocabulary, either to express an underlying philosophy or to make it easier to recognize new vocabulary. These are also known as [[Link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxonomic_languages|philosophical or taxonomic languages.]]
