Im still confused what this is lol.
Japanese, English, French, etc. all developed naturally.

Conlangs are languages that are developed artificially by small groups of people. They are sometimes designed as universal languages which are easy for most languages to learn, or they are artistic and designed for movies/games. Like in Game of Thrones when they talk in a foreign language it's not just random sounds, it's actually a fully developed real language with thousands of words.
A thread about constructed languages.  Languages that people make for game, TV, movies, books, etc are all in that category.  

I've always wanted to sit down and create my own language and make a world with history like The Elder Scrolls and Lord of the Rings.  
It's not that hard to create a simple conlang. Most conlangs only have a few dozen words and very simple grammar. Dragon speak in Skyrim for example is extremely simple and not a full language.

Get started and have fun!!!
