If this is intriguing to you, there's a very active subreddit for this at /r/conlangs. The community there ranges from folks just fooling around with simple English relexes, to fairly formal investigations into weird linguistic features like split ergativity.<p>There's also other channels on YouTube; my favorite is Biblaridion's; their How To Make A Language series might be a good intro: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHK1gO2Mh68&list=PL6xPxnYMQpqsooCDYtQQSiD2O3YO0b2nN" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHK1gO2Mh68&list=PL6xPxnYMQp...</a>
When I looked into conlangs over ten years ago I concluded that there were three that were particularly worth knowing.<p>1. Novial, because it is extremely regular with simple rules<p>2. Ido, because it is a simplified version of Esperanto, which itself has a non-trivial number of speakers.<p>3. Interlingua, because it is roughly a simplified modern romance language, which themselves have hundreds of millions of native speakers.
Vulgar is a fun tool to generate the beginnings of a conlang: <a href="https://www.vulgarlang.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vulgarlang.com/</a>
