Come learn about constructed languages (AKA conlangs)! We'll talk about the history of invented languages, from Hildegard von Bingen's Lingua Ignota to Esperanto, Tolkien's Elvish languages, and modern projects like Dothraki. We'll explore what has motivated people throughout history to create languages, and what those people were like. If students are interested, we can also discuss resources for those who are interested in creating their own conlangs.
