Láadan
Láadan is a constructed language intended in part to better express women's experiences. Suzette Haden Elgin introduced Láadan in her novel Native Tongue.
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs. — Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd
