Then, you might want to explore the [[Language list|complete list of languages]], or find something more specific with the [[Esolang:Categorization|categories]]. You could also visit the [[joke language list]], which lists languages that can't even be programmed in. Failing that, you could take a look at a [[Special:RandomInCategory/Languages|random language]]. You could also take a look at the list of [[Special:SpecialPages|special pages]].

Then you should add it to the [[language list]] (or the [[joke language list]], as appropriate). '''DON'T''' create pages with the <tt>Esolang:</tt> prefix for your esolangs because that prefix is for general information about the wiki, but do remember to properly [[Esolang:Categorization|categorize]] your articles. If you haven't got that far yet, take a look at the [[list of ideas]] for inspiration.
