Conlanging emerged as a formalized hobby and creative practice in the late 20th century, gaining significant popularity with the rise of fantasy literature (especially Tolkien), science fiction, and internet communities. While more established in English-speaking countries, the practice has grown internationally. In Brazil and Portugal, the activity is less common and often referenced using the English term 'conlanging' or descriptive Portuguese phrases rather than a dedicated native term.
