Constructed languages are processed by the same brain mechanisms as natural languages
What constitutes a language? Natural languages share some features with other domains: from math, to music, to gesture. However, the brain mechanisms that process linguistic input are highly specialized, showing little or no response to diverse non-linguistic tasks. Here, we examine constructed languages (conlangs) to ask whether they draw on the same neural mechanisms as natural languages, or whether they instead pattern with domains like math and logic. Using individual-subject fMRI analyses, we show that understanding conlangs recruits the same brain areas as natural language comprehension. This result holds for Esperanto (n=19 speakers)— created to resemble natural languages—and fictional conlangs (Klingon (n=10), Na’vi (n=9), High Valyrian (n=3), and Dothraki (n=3)), created to differ from natural languages, and suggests that conlangs and natural languages share critical features and that the notable differences between conlangs and natural language are not consequential for the cognitive and neural mechanisms that they engage. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
【Ϙ】@ergative hi!
I'd be happy to lend my voice & rec some #highValyrian (#Dothraki only has a handful of #words) for them! Do you happen to have any info as to how they intend to care for the sensitivity of the data?
#conlangers also #Navi*
Finally. My time has come. Also, after 218 days in the #HighValyrian course on #DuoLingo, I've "learned" the names of my pets, Meraxes and Balerion.
It's hard to think in #HighValyrian, because it's a "subject object verb" language, while English is "subject verb object".
The direct translation is "For Jon this to the table I'm carrying."
Ho Esperanto!Languages like Klingon and Esperanto activate the same parts of the brain that process languages that evolved naturally.

Brains on conlangs - MIT McGovern Institute
For a few days in November, the McGovern Institute hummed with invented languages. Strangers greeted one another in Esperanto; trivia games were played in High Valyrian; Klingon and Na’vi were heard inside MRI scanners. Creators and users of these constructed languages (conlangs) had gathered at MIT in the name of neuroscience. McGovern Institute investigator Evelina […]
