	While there technically are no formal limits on the creativity of an auxlang, most creators choose to make them naturalistic and further, [[a posteriori]], often choosing to base them off of a select few languages or language families to aid in the learning of the conlang by speakers of such.

			==Zonal==
			A '''zonal language''' (similarly expanded to '''zonal auxiliary language''') is a form of auxlang designed specifically for the languages/dialects and people living within a certain region, as touched briefly on previously. While most often these conlangs are designed as an artificial standard for a group of related dialects, it's not a total prerequisite just as in all other auxlangs. In the former cases, this subcategory can be considered the conlang equivalent of a naturally-formed koiné language, a standardized and independent dialect of a language formed from averaging and emphasizing the shared components of multiple divergent dialects with varying levels of mutual intelligibility, versus the latter sharing potentially certain aspects with pidgins and creoles.

{{Types of conlangs}}
An '''auxiliary language''' or '''auxlang''' (often expanded to '''international auxiliary language''' or '''IAL''') is a conlang which is designed primarily to function as a lingua-franca or means of communication between different people(s) who speak otherwise incompatible languages. However, unlike most natural linguas-franca and as the name implies, auxlangs are usually not intentionally created to assert its own dominance nor that of a language family over native languages, but rather to provide a secondary "neutral" language to find common ground over.

While there technically are no formal limits on the creativity of an auxlang, most creators choose to make them naturalistic and further, [[a posteriori]], often choosing to base them off of a select few languages or language families to aid in the learning of the conlang by speakers of such. Two extreme examples of this phenomenon are the subcategories of [[:Category:Universal Languages|universal]] and [[zonal language]]s, the first of which is usually either syncretized from a wide variety of sources or [[a priori]] with many a posteriori modifications and are designed to be a common language of all people, whereas the second is syncretized almost solely from a definite group of languages (often some combination of geographically and/or familially related) and tailored so that the people who speak such languages find relative ease in learning it.
