Questions about constructed languages are on topic to the same extent as questions about natural languages.

A question about a world or a book series is not automatically on topic just because that world contains constructed languages, or because  the books were written in a natural language.  However, once the question digs into how one or more of those languages work and interact, in becomes a linguistic question.

We welcome questions about language management of natural languages; therefore we also welcome questions involved in construction of a language from scratch, or based on another constructed language, or based on a natural language, as long as they are answerable based on insights grounded in existing languages (constructed or not), as opposed to based entirely on opinion and artistic preference.

Some languages are recorded as a tiny and effectively closed body of texts.  They may be the creation of a single artist, or they may be extinct languages.  Most questions asked about such languages will have to be answered with "we will likely never know". Again, this applies to constructed and natural languages equally.
