The objective of ontologies is to increase the compression of a given domain by eliminating interpretation problems. Among kinds of ontologies are linguistics ontologies which are ontologies used to simplify the interface between domain knowledge and linguistic components. Digital games have received increasing interest from educators in recent years for their potential to enhance the language learning and linguistic learning experience. Within the literature are games to teach ontologies of a specific domain, and games that use ontologies to facilitate the understanding of a given domain. Other educational games teach linguistics or vocabulary in contexts in which language is useful and meaningful. Although games help to understand difficult topics, the use of games that seek to meet the learning objectives of linguistics is not very popular and those focused on teaching linguistic ontologies are scarce. To solve the lack of the recreational resource for teaching linguistics in this document a prototype of a digital game called onto-ling is proposed. The goal is for the player to learn the relationship between concepts according to semantics, types of concepts and relationships through a game of levels.
