Xenolinguistics

Here's a fun comparison of 10 popular constructed languages.  I know at least a few words of Klingon, Elvish, Na'vi, and Atlantean.  I've previously encountered Furbish, Parseltongue, and Alienese.

Can't see the article due to work filters, but... can I go on the record as being really sad that the only full explanation of Atlantean grammar I've been able to find is one reverse-engineered by fans? (I'm assuming it's the Disney-funded conlang that's mentioned there, and maybe I've missed something somewhere, too.)

I know how to say "Open!" in Parseltongue: "hass-see-eth!"
