In language construction, a [[proto-language]] can refer to any constructed language (conlang) based on which daughter languages are created through phonological and grammatical changes. A proto-language may be either a [[visible proto-language]], a fully developed conlang which is presented publically, or an [[invisible proto-language]], a language system which is not fully developed, but is used as a starting point for another conlang, and which is typically not presented publically.

In language construction, a proto-language can refer to any constructed language (conlang) based on which daughter languages are created through phonological and grammatical changes. A proto-language may be either a visible proto-language, a fully developed conlang which is presented publically, or an invisible proto-language, a language system which is not fully developed, but is used as a starting point for another conlang, and which is typically not presented publically.

As a note, natural languages that serve as a proto-language for a conlang will not be listed here. For example, modern English is the proto-language of Trigedasleng, but neither English nor Trigedasleng will be listed on this page.
