Editing Artistic language (section)

=== Personal languages ===

'''Personal languages''' are ultimately created for one's own edification. The creator does not expect anyone to speak it; the language exists as a work of art. A personal language may be invented for the purpose of having a beautiful language, for self-expression, as an exercise in understanding linguistic principles, or perhaps as an attempt to create a language with an extreme phonemic inventory or system of verbs. Personal languages tend to have short lifespans, and are often displayed on the Internet and discussed on message boards much like Internet-based fictional languages. They are often invented in large numbers by the people who design these languages.  However, a few personal languages are used extensively and long-term by their creators (e.g., for writing [[Diary|diaries]]).  Javant Biarujia, the creator of [[Taneraic]], described his personal language (which he terms a '''hermetic language''') thus: "a private pact negotiated between the world at large and the world within me; public words simply could not guarantee me the private expression I sought."<ref>[http://www.phreacs.com.au/tanerai/ Taneraic on the Web]  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050731075734/http://www.phreacs.com.au/tanerai/ |date=July 31, 2005 }}</ref>  The author [[Robert Dessaix]] describes the origins of his personal language K: "I wanted words that described reality. So I made them up."<ref>[http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/ling/stories/s693291.htm "The Language of K"], ''Lingua Franca'', 19 December 1998  {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060527161927/http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/ling/stories/s693291.htm |date=May 27, 2006 }}</ref>
