I'm not talking about a little code like pig-latin or anything, but I mean a brand new language with it's own grammar, sounds, alphabet, and vocabulary. I've tried a few times, either starting from scratch with a brand new language, or basing my language off of other ones. Like I made a Romance (Latin) based language which was sort of a mix of different languages with some added stuff I came up with, and with changed grammar etc. But whenever I try to make a "poetic" language from scratch, it usually starts to turn into French... Has anyone ever tried to make their own language? And has anyone ever made a poetic or romantic language that doesn't sound.... just like French?
