Langmaker

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Langmaker is a wiki maintained by Jeffrey Henning and a staff of volunteers that serves largely, but not exclusively, as a database of over 1000 constructed languages, also known as model languages or conlangs. The site serves to catalogue and describe conlangs, and entries include such information as the conlang's name, its author, a brief description of the language, and external links. In addition to this collection, there are separate databases for neologisms, neographies, and "Babel texts" (translations of the Tower of Babel story into the various conlangs), reviews of language-related books and media, and various other resources for conlangers. Many of the neographies relate to the conlangs featured on the site.

A mailing list exists in conjunction with the site that updates visitors on important changes on Langmaker.

In mid-2006, Henning converted the site to a wiki, running on MediaWiki software, in order to allow Langmaker's visitors to more easily contribute to and manage its content.
