An a posteriori conlang is a constructed language whose vocabulary or grammar is based on one or more already existing languages. Usually, a posteriori conlangs will bear a strong resemblance to their "mother" languages (for example, Alphistian looks a good deal like Dutch).

What percentage of conlangs are made to be a posteriori is currently unknown. If you're curious to see more examples of a posteriori conlangs, click here.
