EDIT: Maybe you should describe your idea a little bit more detailed. What basic principles will your language have? What makes it better or worse?

Or if you would like to discuss other conlangs in English, I suggest going to a forum like Unilang.

Hyperboreus:this! same hererobbkvasnak:Inventing a new conlang is soooo beginner! If the beginner can get to the middle stage of speaking and writing Esperanto, then she/he usually gives up these ideas.Buggrit. This means I haven't come to the middle stage of Esperanto. Having brain farts about con langs and how they should look like, and what the shouldn't and this and that and etc, is quite fun for me still. Not as much as inventing a conlang, but playing in the mind with different aspects, approaches or philosophies of conlangs.
It helps to understand certain aspects of human languages in general.

Arguably, Esperanto which appeared in 1887, didn't get to the point of being a 'real' language until the 1930's after a lot of collaborative effort by a lot of people.
Remember, a language is essentially a social phenomenon, not just a bunch of rules.
You can have a language spoken just by one or two people that is a proper language, when it is on the point of dying out.
But this necessitates a previous community of speakers in which there was social consensus about meaning and usage, what counts as being well-formed etc., all of which is still remembered by the last remaining speakers.

sudanglo:Have you got 40 years to devote to developing your project, recruiting speakers, getting course books published, organising conferences of speakers, translating literature, establishing dictionaries based on agreed usage etc.?That was the era before mass communication. Nowadays you can send any amount of information to billions of people for free in the blink of an eye.
