Editing Fictional language (section)

==Purpose==
Fictional languages are separated from [[artistic language]]s by both purpose and relative completion: a fictional language often has the least amount of grammar and vocabulary possible, and rarely extends beyond the absolutely necessary. At the same time, some others have developed languages in detail for their own sake, such as [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s [[Quenya]] and [[Sindarin]] (two Elvish languages), ''[[Star Trek]]''{{'}}s [[Klingon language]] and [[Avatar (2009 film)|''Avatar'']]'s [[Na'vi language]] which exist as functioning, usable languages.<ref name=":2" />

By analogy with the word "conlang", the term ''[[conworld]]'' is used to describe these fictional worlds, inhabited by fictional [[constructed culture]]s. The conworld influences vocabulary (what words the language will have for flora and fauna, articles of clothing, objects of technology, religious concepts, names of places and tribes, etc.), as well as influencing other factors such as pronouns, or how their cultures view the break-off points between colors or the gender and age of family members. Sound is also a directing factor, as creators seek to show their audience through [[phonology]] the type of race or people group to whom the language belongs.<ref name=":1" />
