The X-languages are experimental languages by Jörg Rhiemeier. They are called this way because they are designated by the letter "X" followed by a number. The "X" stands for "eXperimental language".
The X-languages are quite different from each other and do not form a unified family of any sort. They surely aren't cognate in the historical linguistic sense as, for example, Low Elvish and Macaronesian are cognate. Nevertheless, there are a few recurrent features, such as self-segregating morphology and only one single open word class lumping together all the content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives etc.). None of the X-languages has a conculture attached, and none is intended to be naturalist.
