A dadalang is a conlang incorporating ideas of the dadaist moovment in some or all of its grammar, vocabulary, or phonology. Dadalangs are rarely well-developed and tend to fall under funlangs.

One possible feature of dadaist grammar are unusual means of expressing categories, for example by the color of one's hat.

A arguably lexically (and orthographically) dadaist language designed by Sonja Ellen Kisa is Oou.
