No, it's a new conlang (well not really a

Which wikipedia article describes the language you would like to have? If
there isn't any maybe there isn't much people interested in?
What is our policy on constructed languages? I ask because I'm really not sure.
My general feeling is that unless there's some very good reason not to
have a particular language, we should have it. Some good reasons that
I can think of: (1) the language is a joke or vanity project (2) the
language is just a slight change of dialect from some other language.
For example, it would be bad to have a Klingon Wikipedia, I think. It
would be bad to have separate sites for British and American English.
And finally, I think that it's very very convenient for us to avoid
arguments about this by reference to ISO standards. We could, in some
cases, make exceptions, but we should be cautious about doing so.
