The other day someone asserted that languages such as Quenya and Klingon "aren't real languages because they're made up."
I countered with "But all languages are made up -- either by the people who grow up speaking them such as German, English, and Mandarin or by those who think them up, like Esperanto, COBOL, or Klingon."
Discuss.
