=== Jokelangs === {{see also|Language game}} The term '''jokelang''' is sometimes applied to conlangs created as jokes. These may be languages intended primarily to sound funny, such as [http://www.dilingo.net/ DiLingo], or for some type of [[satire]], often as satire on some aspect of constructed languages. Some typical jokelangs are: * [[Europanto]] β an unstructured mixture of European languages * [[Transpiranto]] β constructed from international words inflected to sound like Swedish jargon, in order to improve malplacedness and ambiguity * Oou β a deliberately ambiguous and [[polysemous]] language whose writing system is made up entirely of punctuation marks and whose [[phoneme]] inventory is made up entirely of vowels * DiLingo β a rhyming language<ref>[http://www.dilingo.net/DiLingo/Home.html DiLingo - official website]</ref> * Gulevache β a fictional joke romance language created by the Argentinian comedy-musical group [[Les Luthiers]] for its opera [[Cardoso en Gulevandia]] * Unwinese β the nonsensical but structured alternative English, also known as [[gobbledygook]] but named by its creator Basic Engly Twentyfimode, used by comedian [[Stanley Unwin (comedian)|Stanley Unwin]] * Inflationary Language β invented by comedian [[Victor Borge]], incrementing numbers embedded in words, e.g., ''crenine'' ("create") and ''elevennis'' ("tennis")
