conlang

Short for "constructed language". A language that does not occur by natural process and is not a normal product of a national culture, but is invented either for personal/private use, fiction (Klingon, Tolkien's Quenya), international communication (Esperanto), political reasons, or as an experiment.

Esperanto, a conlang designed for simple communication between differing language groups, especially European, has millions of speakers, though its exact number is uncertain.

FZ

Frank Zappa (1940-1993), American experimental rock composer and guitarist, known for one hit, "Valley Girl", his original band Mothers of Invention, and his anti-censorship activism in the 1980s (even testifying at a Senate hearing during the height of the PMRC).

I've been wondering what the lead guitarist has been playing lately, it's been weird. Must be one of his FZ stints.
