i love the idea of creating conlangs. i’ve experimented with the idea of them in years past but have never done anything with them, let alone created one.
i did create some toki pona-based ones as they consist of few words (~100) but i want to create ones that aren’t just based off toki pona.
+1 for Toki Pona!
It’s a very small language (< 200 words) that forces you to think about how you think. It’s not hard to learn and quite wholesome. The name means “The Language of Good”
Also there is an amazing art scene around the language. Being able to listen to the music keeps me going.

I think Globasa is one of the best attempts at creating an international language without bias toward any natural language family (looking at you Esperanto).
Esperanto!

Elvish from Lord of the Rings really can’t be beat. I never learned it but I would if it were more practical.
As my native language is one of those that inspired it and only quite a few speak it, almost.
Ithkuil I find really interesting. I’ve never attempted to learn it, but the idea is cool. Gets me thinking about the philosophy of language.
I find the concept interesting, but I recognise that my own motivation and knowledge of linguistics are significantly short of where they would need to be to make a conlang myself. I have played around with around with VulgarLang a fair bit, which allows me to fake a conlang to my design juuuust enough to do the job for the purposes of tabletop RPGs and such.
Does Silbo Gomero qualify as a conlang? It was made by adapting a way to speak the Guanche language through whistling into Spanish, but I’m not clear enough on the origins of it to know how “constructed” it is. I suppose it can also be considered to just be a version of Spanish. If it does count, it’s my favourite
