and another one

• Artificial language - known colloquially or
  informally as a conlang - is a language whose
  phonology, grammar, and/or vocabulary have been
  devised by an individual or group, instead of
  having evolved naturally. There are many possible
  reasons to create a constructed language to ease
  human communication (see international auxiliary
  language and code) to bring fiction or an
  associated constructed world to life linguistic
  experimentation celebration of one's aesthetic
  tastes in language and language games.
• The synonym planned language is sometimes used to
  refer to international auxiliary languages, and
  by individuals who may disagree with the more
  common term "artificial". For example, few
  speakers of Interlingua consider their language
  artificial, since it has no invented content.
  While this is not true of Esperanto and Ido, some
  speakers of these languages also avoid the term
  "artificial language" because they deny that
  there is anything "unnatural" about the use of
  their language in human communication.
• Calling languages "planned" also addresses a
  difficulty with the term "constructed language"
  a few languages are loosely grouped under this
  heading as a result of shared history and uses
  but are not themselves viewed as constructed.
  Interlingua has a naturally occurring vocabulary
  and grammar that have been cataloged and
  standardized by an International Auxiliary
  Language Association, a linguistic research body.
