Prolangs is a webcomic created by Elemenopi and uploaded onto the r/prolangs
subreddit. It follows a cast of humanized Conlangs, often making poking fun at their features and community.
Prolangs contains examples of:
- Anthropomorphic Personification: Of conlangs
- Conlang: What the webcomic is about.
- Humanoid Abomination: Thandian, though he used to look a lot more normal.
- Robe and Wizard Hat: Toki Pona is a wizard whose seen wearing a pointy hat.
- Robot Girl: Ithkuil.
- Slice of Life: There isn't really a general plot - it's just the various conlangs interacting with each other.
- The Hilarity of Hats: Kay(f)bop(t) carries around four hats at all times, since the language assigns meaning to different hats. In one comic, he even steals Volapük's hat!
- The Trickster: Kay(f)bop(t), as fitting a ridiculously impractical joke language.
- Tin-Can Robot: Lojban, Loglan, and 1580.
- Was Once a Man: Thandian was originally an armored knight, representing a fantasy conlang based on English and Latin, but after their creator visited Turkey and started learning about more languages, they accumulated more and more features until becoming a Humanoid Abomination.
