Ardlang (/aɾd.laŋg/) is a constructed worldlang created by Elia Ansaloni in 2013. Its main features are a regular phonetic inventory, a strict Subject-Verb-Object sentence order and a vocabulary that aims to defy Eurocentrism without renouncing to widely known translations.

The main linguistic influences of Ardlang are Indo-European languages, Mandarin Chinese (from which most of the isolating grammar is derived) and Arabic, but its a posteriori vocabulary is built considering many other languages, including Austronesian languages, Altaic languages, Swahili, Basque and Nahuatl. This approach is remarked by Ardlang's motto Ab hol dunya, pro hol dunya (From the whole world, for the whole world).

As of 2014, no dictionary of Ardlang has been released, but some translations and lexicon are available on the Unilang forum and on Tumblr.
