Anyone created their own language?

Hi I was wondering if anyone here has ever tried making a language of their own from scratch. I'd love to hear about some of them. I've made a few, my current one is called Erani. I've been working on it for about a year (gone through several drafts) and am still nowhere near finished! Hehe x x x

WOW and I thought I was the only one! lol. A long time ago I came up with the idea and started making a big list of words. I tried teaching my friend a few of the words. I thought it would be a lot of fun to use this language when out somewhere in public so no one could understand what we were saying. I abandoned the list because my friend just wasn't into it and it was no fun learning and talking to myself. I was thinking of starting up something like that again since now I have a friend who is willing to experiment. Maybe I will write and publish a book and the language will become widespread throughout the world. LOL. wouldn't that be something? Hey all languages had to start somewhere... But either way it's a fun way to pass the time. I can't even remember any of the words/phrases that I had come up with either but I think I have the original list somewhere. I remember one phrase was for "I love you" was "triponyeh Merei Cal" LOL I can't believe I remembered that.

Awww thats really sad about what happened :( But yay that you're thinking of restarting again. But you do need a grammar as well as a big long list of words for a language :| (trust me, coming up with words is the harder part - I've got about 500 only). I personally use it to write in my diary and plan on doing songs and stuff in it (no idea who would like listening to them but I'd enjoy doing it) :P I love you in my lang would be: "Thè shà eseraigh"

wow I'd never even realised people do that. I recogn you should put some of it on here I'd love to see it. Have you drawn from any other languages, or influences, or are you just literally making it up from nowhere?
