Zirka: Codelang / artlang; a right-to-left rune/glyph-based language. While it is largely a language "cast" (or "mask"?), it has its own simple grammar. The author hopes to eventually make it a true conlang that stands on its own.

Most of my invented languages don't have a thread here. All of these are a priori except where otherwise noted, although some take inspiration from natlang phonologies or alphabets.
- Hecathver/Häħadhvar (2012): fusional, tripartite alignment (ergative identical to nominative except for personal pronouns), no genders, three numbers (3rd is mass plural). My main conlang and the only one I'm fluent in, currently counting about 1,000 words, mainly created from low-level wannabe jokes (take a word in a natlang, change it a bit so it looks Hecathver, and then give it the exact opposite meaning or one that is related in a "fun" way). Has a nice conscript.
- Hajás (2016): made to look a bit like Hungarian, harmonic, agglutinative (only up to 2 root morphemes), uses a lot of suffixes for pretty much anything. Has a badass conscript based on stylish curved lines.
- Híntrené (late 2013): Norse-looking phonology and spelling, three classes of verbs (static, dynamic and modal/auxiliar), seven cases and no genders, but words are declined differently depending on their ending. Marks noun definition synthetically. Made to have historically had a distinction between long and short vowels that has now collapsed into entirely different sounds, primarily diphthongs. Spoken in a Legend of Zelda-based conworld, Híntren, for which I'm currently developing a video game (outside the CBB I'm a computer programmer).
- Emagnás (2013): a conlang with ejectives, a very strict word order, 5 cases, 2 numbers (definite, used after a numeral, and indefinite, used alone), and 4 declensions depending on the word ending (-es, -um, -V and everything else). I abandoned it because most of the times it's incredibly difficult to remember the correct word order (it changes a lot depending on what meaning you need to convey). Still this feature is the coolest one to me.
- Ranse (2014): my first attempt at a polysynthetic conlang. It features monosyllabic roots, mostly with no pre-determined part-of-speech assigned (they can be nouns, adjectives, verbs or adverbs depening on context and position); the meaning of words is thus determined by their syllables. I didn't take into account, though, that dividing a word in syllables isn't very easy if there is no rule regarding how syllables can be formed in the first place, so I ended up adding lots and lots of apostrophes to mark syllable boundaries and then abandoned it altogether.
- Darezh (2016): latest attempt at a polysynthetic conlang, but this one has strict rules as to how syllables can be formed, thus it works much better than Ranse. The rest is pretty much the same as for Ranse itself, I even recycled most of the dužbet'i (ideograms for roots) and the entire rajmbet'i system (alphabet for endings, kind of like okurigana). Used to have clicks, but I can't pronounce them well, so I recycled their characters for a bunch of affricates instead.
- Simpel (2017): work in progress isolating language with little to no concept of inflection. No gender, number, tense, mood or anything like that, except aspects (might get rid of those soon). By pure coincidence it uses all and only the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet.
- I have lots of other conlangs that are currently work-in-progress or anyways not complete enough to be listed here, namely Lynel, Ergar, Marsål (spoken on Mars), Vuida (based on Finnish), Akhref (based on Arabic) and Noxhívar (I lost the folder with all its data, should have been cognate with Hecathver). Finally, there is my first ever conlang, dating back to 2003 (I was 8), Fratedegnolo (pathetic name based off "francese" - French, "tedesco" - German and "spagnolo" - Spanish, the three languages it derives its lexicon from). It's mostly complete garbage since I wasn't very good with languages back then.

Shintæmild, concieved about two to three years ago (2017-2018), is an abandoned conlang (probably was supposed to be vaguely naturalistic, but I'm not sure) that was mainly completed except for vocabulary and some of grammatical features that back then haven't come up yet, and is not connected to any kind of conworld. It's synthetic, head-final, and the word order is SVO; it has undefined phonotactics. It had a lot of similarities with English and Russian, the two languages that I speak relatively fluently. It is not currently available online.
la at tea, conceived and then finished in 2019, is an artlang/personal lang, and is what I would call a "supplementary language", because it is highly specialized and isn't meant to be used for communication all on its own, rather, just for clarifying things it's hard/impossible to say in another language. It started out from a conscript, is head-final and zero-marking, and the word order is SVO; the writing system is partly featural and partly a logography. itota itiko, conceived in 2020 and currently being worked on, is another vaguely naturalistic language (though it's actually still a conlang in-universe) and this time technically a fan work, though the understanding of the original show isn't needed for understanding the conlang. Its word order is VSO, the syllable structure is (C)V, and is agglutinative. It does not have its own writing system.
- It's currently fully available online in Russian, but with way less technical words and no IPA; a full entry/post/whatever here does not exist yet, but might.

Søsøzatli: Engelang (2013); a not very naturalistic experiment on many things.

Dijo: Mostly isolating a priori personal language with OSV order (2016); logographic script.
The aim is to make a usable language to teach to a small indeterminate group and create a very small community that can aid with expansion of the language. Inyi: Somewhere between artlang, auxlang & engelang (maybe?) (2016); highly agglutinative & slightly polysynthetic; no geopoetical orientation.
Its purpose is an exploration of language creation to gain knowledge and understanding in the art. vodlem (2018): isolating/agglutinative a priori, OSV order with Active morphosyntactic alignment. The language accompanies the people of invod - a limbo-esque realm that's the setting for a DnD campaign I am writing. The language is spoken by all inhabitants and so the players/adventurers will need to decipher the language over time in order to get by, and probably also speak some of it to communicate with natives. The goal for it is to be pretty simple from a grammar perspective such that it wouldn't take excessive time and effort to note down the grammar amongst the players.
Parlox
Bàsupan (2017): agglutinative, largely SOV word order with tri-consonantal roots, complex nominative-ergative alignment, pharyngeal consonants, an extensive comparative system, and a native script. Bàsupan is widely spoken in mainland Bàsupan, and a prestige language of the region surrounding it.
Lohondla (2018): fusional, largely SOV word order with a synactic ergative alignment, pronominal split-S alignment, and nominal nominative alignment with object pronouns infixing in verbs and more than a dozen ways to negate a verb.
I have plenty of other, very incomplete conlangs such as Rh'ae, Brythónnyc Claire, Oddúhath Claire, Molvanian, Stellendor, Chavajau, Kou (Äshollkovsi), and Koe'ez. These may be posted here in the future if they develop to the point they can be considered a conlang.

Pieveian: Artlang (2016); Western Romance language, spoken in Switzerland Ydtobogan: language family (2014); my first attempt at a language family. Most of the languages are characterized by large vowel inventories (usually at least eight vowels), fusional morphology, duodecimal number system, noun case, the use of a question particle even in non-polar questions, clusivity distinction in the first person plural, etc. There are other common features, but they're either insignificant IMO or likely to become uncommon.
