- ## English, 31 characters
- > Hi! This site's for you if you like lingo.
- Notes:
- * I consider *Hi!*, as an informal but not impolite greeting, to connote both the greeting and the acceptance aspects of *Welcome to*.
- * *Languages & Linguistics*, being a name, can't really be golfed as such, but contextually *This site* works as a substitution, and by metonymy includes the community behind the site.
- * I'm stretching *lingo* a bit, but see e.g.
- > the language and speech, especially the jargon, slang, or argot, of a particular field, group, or individual -- dictionary.com
- > Language, terminology, or Dialect. Usually of a particular "Kind" or within a certain "group", "culture" etc -- Urban Dictionary
> language; words used by people doing particular job. -- Macmillan Dictionary

- ----
- Alternative, also **31 chars** but perhaps less controversial and slightly clearer on the study aspect of point 2:
- > Hi! This site's for all language lovers.
