That used to work, but for whatever reason, it won't let me accept PDFs anymore.

@JohnWDailey - You can always just print the displayed page to a PDF driver... When I try to save as PDF (without being logged in), it tells me that I have to sign up (which means paying).

<p>We all had little experience to go on when we first started making languages!</p>

<p>I'd actually recommend that you <strong>NOT</strong> make use of a conlang recipe resource.  What you end up doing is little more than making an invented language like how the recipe writer makes an invented language.</p>

<p>This just defeats the purpose of the art of glossopoesy.</p>

<p>Instead, I'd suggest you take what experience you've got, little as it may be, and just do the hard work of language invention.  Sit down with pencil and paper and doodle words and phrases thereon.  Come up with some basic rules (for word order, for syllable structure, for grammar).  Get yourself hooked up with a good language invention community (<a href="https://listserv.brown.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=CONLANG" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Conlang-L</a> for example) and begin the learning process.</p>

I was wondering if anyone knows of any conlang creation websites that are free to use.

I know this sounds silly but I have little experience to go on as for creating a custom language.

I'd actually recommend that you **NOT** make use of a conlang recipe resource. What you end up doing is little more than making an invented language like how the recipe writer makes an invented language.

This just defeats the purpose of the art of glossopoesy.

Come up with some basic rules (for word order, for syllable structure, for grammar).
