In the land of invented languages : Esperanto rock stars, Klingon poets, Loglan lovers, and the mad dreamers who tried to build a perfect language / Arika Okrent. by Okrent, Arika. New York : Spiegel & Grau, 2009. Description:  342 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Summary:  Okrent tells the fascinating and highly entertaining history of man's enduring quest to build a better language. Peopled with charming eccentrics and exasperating megalomaniacs, the land of invented languages is a place where you can recite the Lord's Prayer in John Wilkins's Philosophical Language, say your wedding vows in Loglan, and read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" in Lojban--not to mention Babm, Blissymbolics, and the nearly nine hundred other invented languages featured in this language-lover's book. Contents:  Nine hundred languages, nine hundred years -- John Wilkins and the language of truth -- Ludwik Zambof and the language of peace -- Charles Bliss and the language of symbols -- James Cooke Brown and the language of logic -- The Klingons, the Conlangers, and the art of language.
