Good Afternoon,

I just finished listening to you podcast on Khangabyagon and it struck me that you all said that this was a conlang for a ‘magical language’.

And I know from Arika Okrent’s book that Laadan is for expressing the views of women better.

So I would like to recommend an episode where you all just have some fun going over the different conlangs that have a stated purpose or philosophy  nothing all that in-depth but a broad set touching on what appears to be how that purpose is being addressed, detailed vocabulary or certain features of the language.

Enjoy,

Timothy Wofford
