Constructed language or conlang. Short form for constructed language, human language which is not natural language.
In Lojban - runbau.
Classification
Conlangs are sometimes divided into three groups:
- artlangs, those devised for artistic purposes -- either per se, or for use in fiction.
- Klingon
- Tolkien languages, which have given tengwar orthography to Lojban
- Láadan
- Glaugnea
- Solresol
- pc:
- Really for artistic purposes? Its purpose seems to have been IAL, the "esthetic" side - the musical version -- was partly practical (tone carries farther than words and is easier to pick out in a noisy environment) and partly either a bad joke or a misunderstanding of the claim that music is the universal language (which is clearly false even when rightly understood).
- loglangs, more recently called engelangs (Engineered languages), those devised according to some sort of objective principles; Lojban Description is one of these.
- auxlangs, those devised principally as IALs
- a posteriori
- Ygyde
- Unish
- Inoffensish
- a priori
These categories are of course overlapping.
