Invent a language
Challenge 16
We each use language every day. What languages do you speak?
Have you ever wondered where language comes from? Most languages developed over a very long time, because people needed a way to communicate with one another. Other languages have been invented for specific purposes.
Esperanto was invented to be easy to learn so people from different countries could understand each other. Computer languages like Python and Lua were invented to help humans give instructions to computers. Toki Pona was invented to see how simple a language could be.
Today, try inventing your own language. See what ideas you can express with your language.
