This page seems a bit messy. I think the categories for Argot and Foreign Conversion are basically versions of Indo-European Alien Language; and Newspeak probably can be transferred to the page for Future Slang. Perhaps we should reserve this page for when people actually tried to create a true, realistic language, and leave the failures for other pages? (I'm not entirely sure that the rest count as real conlangs, and I hope this page doesn't give people the impression that relexing English makes you a conlanger.)
There's a lot that needs to be done with this page, but I want to make sure people don't object before I do it.
kjlkjlkn has recently been insisting on the addition of Alphabet 2.0
by Oats Jenkins as an example on this page. Personally, I've viewed the video and don't see it as much more than a rehash of English that is still reasonably comprehensible to a fluent speaker, and thus do not consider it as a valid example and the trope in question to just be shoehorning it in. At best, I think it would be considered a Newspeak variety, but as stated, still reasonably mutually intelligible with regular English.
Rather than continuing an underground Edit War, I'd decided to just leave this open to input from everyone else.
