A priori (languages) Totally Explained

Everything about A Priori Languages totally explained

ť This is the article about constructed languages. For other uses of the term "a priori", see a priori.

An a priori language is any constructed language whose vocabulary isn't based on existing languages, unlike a posteriori constructed languages. Examples of a priori languages include Ro, Solresol, Mirad, Klingon Language, and languages of Middle-Earth.
Some a priori constructed languages try to categorize their vocabulary, and these are known as philosophical or taxonomic languages.

Either to express an underlying philosophical system,
To make it easier to memorize the completely new vocabulary,
Or to remove what would be considered an unfair learning advantage for native speakers of a "source language", if the vocabulary were chosen from an already existing (natural) language.

By contrast, a posteriori constructed languages are ones whose vocabulary is based on an existing languages, either as a variation of one existing language (for example, Latino sine flexione) or as a mixture of various languages (for example, Interlingua).
