I've been looking into a lot of new programming languages lately, they are usually designed for a specific domain. I was wondering if language students are experimenting with new languages for specific communication purposes? for example, simple languages that can be learnt in a week? Langauges that are easily translate physical sign? Languages that are more concise on a qwerty keyboard?
Linguists are usually quite busy dealing with existing languages. Creating languages for specific purposes is more of a hobby. Of course those hobbyists can be linguists, so the lines are blurred a bit. <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_language" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructed_language</a>
