Nomination rules
  • A user may not nominate more than one conlang during the same nomination period.
  • The language must have the featured banner translated or be in a stage where it can be done by anyone, please display this in your conlang's article.
  • When you nominate a conlang, please state its purpose in the description, if known.
  • Winning conlangs may be re-nominated once 3 months have passed.

Please list the nominator, nominee language and author in your comment, as well as a motivation.

Voting rules

When voting for a featured language, you may only vote once, and only for, not against a language. It is appropriate to write a short motivational phrase when casting your vote. You may change or remove your vote before the voting ends.

  • Self voting does not count towards the total, and there are far too few of us to dilute the effect.
  • Unregistered users may not vote.
  • Newly registered must be working on a conlang of some sort, on the Linguifex wiki.
  • Bots cannot vote at all.

"This language was once featured. Thanks to its level of quality, plausibility and usage capabilities, it has been voted as featured."

Criteria

Try to vote and nominate according to these criteria:

  • Intention - How well the language serves its intention, if any.
  • Naturalism - Depending on the intention, the language can be judged naturalistic or unnaturalistic.
  • Grammar - How are the various grammatical components cooperating? Is it complicated, too complicated or simple? Depends on its intention.
  • Usability - Is the language usable, functional or difficult to use? How are the texts glossed? How many texts/words are there?
  • Completeness - "Perfection is many small details done well" - Marco Pierre White - Does the language seem complete to you? Is it lacking in any aspect?


May the best lang win!
