| '''Naming Languages''' are a very simple kind of invented language. Essentially, they are little more than a short list of lexical items devised to fit some pre-considered phonological scheme. Could be as few as a score or two of words or maybe as many as a hundred. There may be a few short phrases, but there is generally no work done (or planned) on the grammar of the language.
