Nice, it's good to see introductions to conlanging popping up!
But, check your sources, not much of what you said about Esperanto is true. I say that not as an esperantist, but as a lover of good research. :-P
There are up to 2'000'000 esperantists in the world. Esperantism is _not_ about replacing all languages with Esperanto (it's quite the opposite). There are certainly not 100'000 esperantists in southern France, and so on.
@esperantofeig Yeah, my bad about Esperanto. I added an annotation about it. As far as the implication that I'm a bad researcher: well. I don't claim to be an expert on everything. I know Na'vi, and that's about it. This talk wasn't really given with complete accuracy in mind, anyway, merely a way of telling people about what I've sort of learned and picked up about conlangs. Some of that is wrong. It happens. As for the Baha'i - I know. I didn't want to get into it.
Not bad mate, Quenya is specifically used for ceremony in Middle Earth and primarily used in Aman aka Valinor. Sindarin is the common Elvish spoken in Middle Earth. It was adopted by the migrant Noldor when they arrived thousands of years ago back from Valinor. This is ShadowedSin
@DarkenVise Yeah man. Thanks for the clarification. That comment was just a hest though: I've read Lord of the Rings a dozen times (no, really, 12 times). I was pandering to a non-nerdy community. :)
Engelang = engineered language (usually a priori, boundary pushing, and/or philosophical) - not English-based a posteriori conlang. ><
FWIW, Klingon's an artlang too. Obviously has a very different aesthetic than Quenya, but both *are* aesthetically motivated, which is what makes 'em artlangs.

Bahá'í is not a moslim sect, btw :)
