FAQ

Welcome to Languages and Linguistics! We're glad you're here. The following information is relevant primarily within this community. If you have a question that applies to the entire Codidact family of communities, you may want to look at our Global FAQ or Global TOS.

What is this site all about?

Languages and Linguistics is about (human) languages, including constructed languages. You can ask questions about specific languages, about language concepts, or about linguistics.

What are the rules on this site?

In general, follow common sense: Be polite, and please assume the most charitable interpretation of what people on this site say. (Bear in mind that many are not native English speakers and might not realize what they said is rude.)
