I second the request to reopen the issue. Obviously toy artificial languages
like Klingon should not be under discussion to be added, but the unilateral
rule against "artificial" languages being added at all is not only misguided;
it's inconsistently enforced. I'm pretty sure at least a few "real" languages
would have to be removed if we insisted on banning any language that was
created by linguists for sociopolitical purposes (in the sense of uniting or
dividing peoples) -- and even more if you look back far enough into their
histories. If a language has an ISO code and any significant number of
speakers, I see no reason it should be treated as less-acceptable for inclusion
than any other language with the same number of speakers.
