Although the video is purportedly a review of English, the language described is oligosynthetic, with only four phonemes and an orthography that uses punctuation symbols and the digit 5.
** The Viossa episode uses a different format due to covering an artificial pidgin with no rigid or written rules. The episode plays out like a {{documentary}}, cutting between interviews of several members of Viossa's community. Ultimately, jan Misali expresses that [[VideoReviewShow rating the language]] would be missing its point, so the verdict boils down to "Viossa reminded me why I love linguistics."
* SpecialGuest: Episode 30, on [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium Sindarin]], features Artifexian, a well-known worldbuilding {{YouTuber|s}}. Misali later jokes that Josh from [=NativLang=] will have a segment in the video.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: The first episode opens with "welcome to the Conlang Critic". [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness This was dropped thereafter.]]
* SuspiciouslySpecificTense: A similar effect is achieved in the Klingon episode, when jan Misali foreshadows that "we probably won't cover a more famous conlang until either LATE FEBRUARY OR EARLY MARCH 2017".
* TakeThat: {{Subverted|Trope}} in the Ygyde episode. Misali clarifies that calling Ygyde "the Linux of conlangs" isn't a potshot at Linux users, but a direct quote from Ygyde's reference grammar.
* TheDreaded: Sambahsa's verbs are characterized like this, with Misali trying to avoid discussing them for as long as possible.
* VerbalTic: The host of "The Perfect Language [Epic]" says "woo" every so often.
* {{Facepalm}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhxjI3t6Ht4 The joke conlang kay(f)bop(t)]] uses the facepalm as part of its phonology. While reviewing the language, Misali coined the pseudo-linguistic term "faciomanual click" for anyone who wants to sound properly scientific when discussing

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Used rather blatantly to lead up to the Esperanto episode without explicitly revealing an Esperanto episode.
* GenuineHumanHide: Metaphorically, Zese is accused of being a programming language wearing a spoken language's skin.
* IAmNotShazam: jan Misali doesn't like being called Conlang Critic; it's just the name of the show. Eventually {{defied|Trope}} as the [=YouTube=] channel was renamed from "Conlang Critic" to "jan Misali", and its focus shifted to a wider variety of content anyway.
* {{Infodump}}:
** The segment on Sambahsa's verbs opens with a giant conjugation table, then devolves into a [[TimePassesMontage montage of overlapping passages]] from the language's densely written reference grammar.
->'''jan Misali:''' [[DeadpanSnarker and really it’s exactly as simple as it sounds]].
** Most of the Lingwa de Planeta episode is dedicated to informing new viewers, subscribed from non-linguistics videos on the
* {{Irony}}: Points out in
* LetsSeeYouDoBetter: Misali hadn't made a conlang before, but was so disappointed by Futurese that they inflicted this upon themself and started making their own hypothetical future version of English.
* MaliciousMisnaming: The Esperanto episode seems to use a version of this, failing to mention the last name of its creator, L. L. Zamenhof, anywhere in the script. He is instead called Dr. Hoper[[note]]from his pseudonym, Esperanto ("one who hopes"), which became the language's name[[/note]] and "Dr. Lejzer"[[note]]which could be for fun, because it sounds like "laser"[[/note]]. In other episodes, FirstNameBasis is used to condescending effect.
* ManualMisprint: Integrated into the show when a passage in the conlang's reference grammar appears to be outright false, whether accidentally or deliberately.
* MusicalEpisode: The Solresol episode, as the conlang in question is based on the notes of the major scale, and can be communicated through mediums such as solfège, song, and instrumental performance. Misali combines all three of these options when pronouncing Solresol words.
* NonIndicativeName: Misali points out that the name of Vötgil, a conlang designed as a simplified version of English, translates to "the opposite of English".
* NoPronunciationGuide: Averted--jan Misali provides every phonetic sound of every conlang
*
* NotSoDifferentRemark: Misali realizes the similarities between Conlang Critic and the official Vötgil video lessons…
->'''jan Misali:''' white text? black background? short, direct videos full of slightly wrong linguistic information? have I been unknowingly copying this guy's style this entire time?
* SignificantNameOverlap: jan Misali
* OverusedRunningGag: When it comes to the Zese conlang, "you know what Zese!" This is even used twice in the ''previous'' episode, where Misali says "dang I hope you liked that pun because I’m gonna make it so many times in the next episode, you have no idea."
* PleaseSelectNewCityName: {{Inverted|Trope}} with urges for [=IALs=] to use endonyms[[note]]An endonym is a name for a place, language, etc. that is used by its
* SelfDeprecation:
** As demonstrated in the page quote, the jabs about the series getting facts wrong extend to its {{tagline}}.
** From the Volapük episode:
->'''jan Misali:''' people used to say “one” for this in English, but nowadays that’s mostly something one does if one wants to sound more sophisticated than one actually is.
* SeparatedByACommonLanguage: The phonemic differences between English dialects come up often regarding conlangs based on

** The Ido episode includes one to {{WebVideo/Pannenkoek2012}}, which is extended with an arrangement of the "File Select" music from {{VideoGame/SuperMario64}}.
* SitcomArchNemesis:
** VötGil gets treated like this, with jan Misali lovingly(?) cracking jokes at its expense on occasion.
** An Esperantist named Anthony [=McCarthy=] started a comment thread questioning Misali's fluency in conlangs, [[NoTrueScotsman refusing to take Toki Pona for an answer]]. Misali found this entertaining, and has referenced the thread every so often on the channel through running gags and remixes.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent:
** Included in the Conlang Critic series playlist is "The Perfect Language [Epic]". It's a BizarroEpisode with a different host, self-referred to as "jan [[WesternAnimation/MonstersInc Mike Wazowski]]" and "jan Mike Sullivan", and filmed using OBS and Windows Notepad instead of a slideshow format. Although the video is purportedly a review of English, the language described is oligosynthetic, with only four phonemes and an orthography that uses punctuation symbols and the digit 5.
