The Influence of Standardized Systems on Conlang Terminology

In the conlang community, there is a tendency to adhere to standardized terminology when describing constructed languages. This is done to ensure quick understanding and feedback from others. However, it's important to recognize that there is some flexibility in descriptive terms and labels used in different languages. Linguists who study specific languages or language families may use different terminology based on the unique traditions of describing those languages. Conlang descriptions should strike a balance between standardized systems and the specific analysis of the language at hand.
