When I mentioned Tolkien's inventing his languages before the books to
some (presumably non-conlanging friends), they thought it was
interesting. So, maybe some people can appreciate it.
Of course, to appreciate a conlang, you have to study it, while you can
appreciate a painting without going into detail about it, just looking
at it. Of course, you CAN study the deeper meaning to the painting, or
the technique used by the artist, etc., but there's really no way to
casually appreciate a conlang.
