Share Your Language with the World

Congratulations! Over the course of these ten lessons, you have built a constructed language from the ground up. You have designed a phoneme inventory, established syllable rules and sound changes, created a morphological system for building words, defined grammar fundamentals including word order and case, built noun and pronoun systems, designed verb conjugation, learned to construct complex sentences, and created a writing system and documentation plan. Your conlang is no longer just an idea -- it is a functioning system for expressing human thought. But a language truly comes alive when it is shared. This final lesson is about taking your creation into the world, building a community around it, and continuing to develop it over time.

The most successful conlangs are the ones with active communities. Esperanto thrives because of its global network of speakers, clubs, and annual events. Klingon has an institute that publishes translations and holds conferences. Toki Pona has an active online community with social media groups and Discord servers. You can start building a community by sharing your language online. Create a website or wiki documenting your grammar and vocabulary. Post about your language on forums like the Conlang Mailing List, the r/conlangs subreddit, or conlanging Discord servers. Create learning materials: flashcards, grammar summaries, phrasebooks, and beginner lessons. Translate familiar texts (like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Lord's Prayer, or the Tower of Babel passage) so people can see your language in action and compare it with others. The more accessible you make your language, the more likely others are to learn and use it.

One practical way to share your conlang is to create word lists that can be used in language-learning games and tools. A good word list includes common, everyday vocabulary organized by category: greetings, numbers, colors, family members, animals, food, body parts, common verbs, common adjectives, and time expressions. For each entry, provide the word in your conlang, its romanized spelling (if your conlang has a non-Latin script), IPA pronunciation, English translation, and an example sentence. Aim for at least 200 words to start, covering the most fundamental concepts. This word list becomes the foundation for games like flashcard drills, hangman, crossword puzzles, and translation exercises that help others learn your language in an engaging way.

LingoXpress features a growing collection of constructed languages alongside natural languages, and we welcome community submissions. If you have developed your conlang to the point where it has a solid phonology, grammar, vocabulary of at least 200 words, and documentation, you can submit it for inclusion on the platform. Your language could appear in our games, courses, and tools, reaching thousands of language enthusiasts around the world. The submission process involves providing your reference grammar, word list in our standard format, example sentences, and background information about the language and its design philosophy. Visit our submission page for full guidelines and to start the process.
