I'm working on Nemencian, which is my micronation's language.
Ai (eye) = 3rd person pronoun
Ma = Feminine
Pa = Masculine
Na = Neuter
so he\him = pai, and she\her is mai.
(Double letters are combined when joining words.)
Si = posessive
Sa= plural
so paisi (py-see) is his, and naisi is their.
fut (fooht) = fruit
ra = red
yil = yellow
so rafut = apple (red fruit), futsa = fruits
Si by itself means has.
Words with has in front of them have an assumed a\an.
So, “pai si rafut” means “he has an apple”.
Ai (eye) = 3rd person pronoun
Ma = Feminine
Pa = Masculine
Na = Neuter
so he\him = pai, and she\her is mai.

Interesting. Maybe think about the apple example, it could be interpreted as ‘he has a strawberry’ I'm working on Nemencian, which is my micronation's language.

Creating a language can prove to be incredibly difficult. Considering there's thousands upon thousands of words to create, it will take a lot of time and patience, unless you, for whatever reason, consider a bunch of random characters (e.g.: odijgeruhb) to be a word. Another problem of course is getting it to catch on; you could spend forever working on a language, only for it to be forgotten about.
Personally, I had an idea for a language that is made entirely out of prefixes and suffixes. I haven't really thought about it much, however.
ex
ja — agree; agreement (from Middle English yes)
na — disagree; disagreement [from Lation non)
So a word beginning with ‘ja’ would mean that it is in agreement with something; ‘ja’ by itself would simply mean ‘yes’. Similarly, a word beginning with ‘na’ would is in disagreement, with ‘na’ by itself meaning ‘no’.
si — one (from Latin singulus)
bi — two (from Latin bini)
te — three (from Latin terni)
qu — four (from Latin quaterni)
pe — five (from Greek penta)
he — six (from Greek hexa)
se — seven (from Latin septem)
oc — eight (from Greek okta)
no — nine (from Latin nonus)
de — ten (from Greek deka)
Digits join together for higher numbers (e.g.: quse = 47)
as — up (from Latin ascendit)
de — down (from Latin descendit)
re — left (from Latin reliquit)
ju — right (from Latin jus)
That's all I have for now. I can't quite concentrate enough to make any more currently.
And thats if you just make a word for every english word. You would have to consider grammar and where words would go in a sentence and what symbols to use in your language and much more. (I havent made my own language but im thinking of.)

I have nice idea for this.
We can make our language in comments.
(Means comments are categorized,a comment is for update ,one is for warning,rest are to understand etc.)
To categorize use its symbol just after hashtag/comment symbol (Most comments have space after symbol)
so #! means a comment as warning,
#- means comment as update etc
Like in python
#! Add is number check (=
if int(input(“Type a number: ”)) > 5:
rest of code
Now how to use this actually?
Have a basic py file in same folder it will scan through given file and list all warning and updates.

if you like this, take a look into conlangs! You create a language more advanced, with syllable shapes, Phonetics, Lexicons, etc.
You can also have fun with sentence orders:
example in a quick language using english phonetics, CV syllable shape and OVS word order:
“I see the person” > “Person see me” > “Takia seko beio”

Here's a language idea I had yesterday. I haven't worked out the entire system yet; it's very far from polished, and there are probably parts that don't work well or lead ambiguity. This system is probably too complex to be an actual, viable spoken language. Feedback and suggestions welcome.
Consonant sounds
Mostly the same as in English, because I'm lazy. However, h is never silent and is usually pronounced rather forcefully. Some consonants in English aren't present in this language.
Vowel sounds
a: “ah”
e: “ay”
i: “ee”
u: “ooh”
Writing system
English alphabet but without c, q, v, x, or z
All letters written in a word are pronounced. Each consonant is usually pronounced separately: for example, “sh” would sound like “s” with a breathy trail after it, rather than the English “sh” sound. Adjacent vowels are often somewhat blended together.
If two vowels are not blended together, an apostrophe is used to denote a brief pause between them. For example, “kai” sounds like “kaaiee”, whereas “ka'i” sounds like “kah - ee”.
Example words
an: I/we
en: you/y'all
in: he/she/it/they
akahan: life
ulahan: death
tule'in: time
rude'a: earth
rade'in: sky
dun: sun
uran: moon
khen'in: star
danan: human
danir: man
denar: woman
feil: water
duil: food
kathen: home
fhe'in: fire
tala'a: tree
taluil: plant/herb
khunael: lion
mienan: color
tire'u: bravery/brave
ania'u: generosity/generous
radea: blue
talea: green
kaniehi'u: favorite
delin: brevity/short
dekan: length/long
tila: magnitude/greatness/great/greatly/very
es: to be
tais: to walk
taim: to run
taisne: to come (to)
panas: to like
palam: to love
duam: to eat
felam: to drink
etas: to see
uri'as: to hear
ma- or ma': in/on/upon
tin-: near
ne- or ne': to/towards
mane- or mane': into/onto
eni- or eni': away from/out of
Grammar
Word order is pretty strict, and word endings are rare. Sentences are subject - verb - direct object - indirect object.
If a word ends in a vowel and the following word begins with a vowel, the letter “l” is often appended to the preceding word. If this isn't done, the two words will typically end up getting blended together. A speaker can choose not to blend the words together, however, to create emphasis.
Nouns/Adjectives
Nouns and adjectives aren't separate. An adjective is almost always just a noun used to describe something: for example, the word for “brave” is the same as the word for “bravery”, and indeed that word can be used both as a noun and as an adjective. Even an adjective like “many” stems from a noun that roughly translates to “many-ness” or “abundance”.
Similarly, most nouns can be used adjectivally; for example, “door” can be used as an adjective in the phrase for “door frame” to describe the frame. As a slightly stranger example, “house mountain” could refer to a mountain that looks like a house. A noun can also be used adjectivally to indicate possession, but if the noun ends in a consonant, the last consonant is removed, and otherwise the consonant “p” is appended to the end of the noun.
Pronouns follow the same rules as nouns; however, in the possessive form of the pronoun, the last consonant is replaced with a “p” instead of just being removed.
A noun's case is indicated by its position in the sentence, and its number is inferred from context. Grammatical gender doesn't exist in this language.
An unmodified noun appears on its own. If a noun is modified by adjectives, the proclitic e' is added to the beginning of the noun, and the enclitic 'e appears at the end of the last adjective. Adjectives follow the noun they modify. There are no formal rules governing the ordering of adjectives, but generally the most strongly emphasized or important adjectives come first, closer to the noun.
I still haven't figured out how things like relative clauses will work.
Verbs
Verb tense is inferred from context. The passive and active forms of a verb are the same, but the passive form in a sentence would lack a subject; the agent would be expressed as an adverbial prepositional phrase modifying the verb. For example, “the food was eaten by me” would sort of become “eat by me the food”.
I still haven't given much thought to how things like infinitives, imperatives, participles, and gerunds will work.
Adverbs
Basically the same spiel as adjectives. Any adjective can be used as an adverb. If an adjective or adverb is modified by an adverb, i' is added to the beginning of the adjective/adverb being modified, and i appears at the end of the last adverb. Same thing for verbs, except a' and 'a are used instead.
Prepositional phrases
A preposition is attached to the beginning of the noun it applies to. If the preposition applies to multiple nouns, the preposition is attached to the beginning of each noun separately. Prepositional phrases function like adverbs.
Conjunctions
Exist
(idk I haven't thought about them a whole lot)
Examples
Life is short; eternal death comes to us.
Akahan es delin; e'ulahan i'dekan'e tila tila'i(l) a'taisne ne'an'a.
Literally: Life is short; death (greatly greatly long/very very long) comes to (me/us). (idiomatically, tila tila means “forever” or “to the greatest extent possible”)
I eat food. You drink water.
An duam duil. En felam feil.
The man loves the blue sky.
Danir palam e'rade'in radea'e.
Blue is my favorite color.
Radea(l) es e'mienan kaniehi'u(l) ap'e.
The very brave lion runs near the green tree.
E'khunael i'tire'u'e tila'i(l) a'taim e'tin-tala'a talea'e.
The brave, generous woman sees her home shortly.
E'denar tire'u(l) ania'u'e(l) a'etas delin'a(l) e'kathen ip'e.

A noun's case is indicated by its position in the sentence, and its number is inferred from context. Grammatical gender doesn't exist in this language.
An unmodified noun appears on its own. If a noun is modified by adjectives, the proclitic e' is added to the beginning of the noun, and the enclitic 'e appears at the end of the last adjective. Adjectives follow the noun they modify. There are no formal rules governing the ordering of adjectives, but generally the most strongly emphasized or important adjectives come first, closer to the noun.
I still haven't figured out how things like relative clauses will work.
Verbs
Verb tense is inferred from context. The passive and active forms of a verb are the same, but the passive form in a sentence would lack a subject; the agent would be expressed as an adverbial prepositional phrase modifying the verb. For example, “the food was eaten by me” would sort of become “eat by me the food”.
I still haven't given much thought to how things like infinitives, imperatives, participles, and gerunds will work.
Adverbs
Basically the same spiel as adjectives. Any adjective can be used as an adverb. If an adjective or adverb is modified by an adverb, i' is added to the beginning of the adjective/adverb being modified, and i appears at the end of the last adverb. Same thing for verbs, except a' and 'a are used instead.
Prepositional phrases
A preposition is attached to the beginning of the noun it applies to. If the preposition applies to multiple nouns, the preposition is attached to the beginning of each noun separately. Prepositional phrases function like adverbs.
Conjunctions
Exist
(idk I haven't thought about them a whole lot)
Examples
Life is short; eternal death comes to us.
Akahan es delin; e'ulahan i'dekan'e tila tila'i(l) a'taisne ne'an'a.
Literally: Life is short; death (greatly greatly long/very very long) comes to (me/us). (idiomatically, tila tila means “forever” or “to the greatest extent possible”)
I eat food. You drink water.
An duam duil. En felam feil.
The man loves the blue sky.
Danir palam e'rade'in radea'e.
Blue is my favorite color.
Radea(l) es e'mienan kaniehi'u(l) ap'e.
The very brave lion runs near the green tree.
E'khunael i'tire'u'e tila'i(l) a'taim e'tin-tala'a talea'e.
The brave, generous woman sees her home shortly.
E'denar tire'u(l) ania'u'e(l) a'etas delin'a(l) e'kathen ip'e.
(Assuming I didn't make any mistakes)

A few months ago, me and my siblings made up an incredibly stupid language called Lum. Lum is the language of the Lumps. Here's how it works.
All names in Lum must contain at least one letter N. To say, “Hello, my name is *example name*”, you change all N's to C's and just say that.
Words:
Oko: Hello
Tog: Speak
Su: Is
Sus: Are
Uwu: You
Fred: A/An
Ko: Lum
Afi: Like
Oof: Do
Lump: Kotog (ko + tog)
'i: Plural
Pog: Must
To'k: Know
Meh: I/Me
Yeet: Yes
Neet: No
So, if my name was Nate, a conversation would be like this.
Cate.
Oko Nate, meh to'k uwu pog tog ko.
Yeet.

working on a new language called novolis
linun liuso novo anišina, el novolis ena nominina
slight changes can change the meaning of the word, i can use simina (i do) as an example, this happens because of tense
simina = i do
isimina = i did
asimina = i am doing
usimina = i will do
esimina = i had done
âsimina = i have done
üsimina = i will have done
