The more-or-less official term for making up languages is "Conlanging".

Is this what you do?

Didn't entirely understand the link, but I can give the pronunciation and meaning.
"Tsaht, VU-zern, VOWSS teer AL-fuh-bet wol-mekh" (for the kh imagine a hissing cat or something) "-ver, vaynds. Cries, VOWSS DAY-zhen teer MAH-gray-ar vaynds teer Dze-nit wol-mekh-ver. Yole-SOLE-ter teer geh-dess-et Shin ten-ver."
Directly, that translates to "Yes, then. I an alphabet made, and. Hell, I even a grammar and a sentence made. Language a very nice thing is."
Essentially, "Yes, then. I made an alphabet, too. Hell, I even made a grammar system/sentence structure. Language is a beautiful thing."

Basic word order is Subject - Direct Object - Verb - Details in any order.
The alphabet is approximately 55 letters long, mostly vowels, complete with lower case. Said alphabet mostly resembles Daedric and a few Heiroglyphics, with elements of Cyrrillic and Georgian blended in.

It is hard to say a sentence in Kestvoshorik without using a suffix or prefix. Wol- makes the verb happen in the past, while -vr turns a noun or an adjective into a verb. Ge- is essentially like our word for very. Unmentioned in the sentence were vyin- which makes it future tense, -vrn, which makes a noun/adjective into a gerund, and lon- which is basically not or un-.

I've got two for a book I'm writing, though I haven't done much work on one as it only comes up in place names and stuff like that. This one is called 'Grilarco', is the language that most dragons use, and a few communities of humans. I made things easy on myself and decided that dragons were insufficiently dexterous to have developed writing, but I've got a pretty complete grammar and sentence structure. There are a few different dialects, which differ mostly in pronunciation (Hausidaric dragons tend to slur their words, while Thearan dragons sometimes elongate syllables, such as changing 'grys' to 'gerys' for example). Sentences are mostly formed by taking words and sticking various combinations of endings onto them. Verbs have three usually, which specify the speaker's intent (making a statement, presenting a hypothetical, commanding or asking a question), whether the action is continuous, and the tense. There's no real difference between adjectives and nouns, with for example the same word meaning 'possible' or 'possibility' depending on how it is used.

I recommend that both of you read Mark Rosenfelder's Language Creation Kit. It's well worth it.

Edit:

Here's another one, this one took a bit more time and was extremely fun to do as the idea of the final piece slowly settled in and was easier and easier to read :)
