Well, I think other people will have better advice to give than me, but at least
I can advise you Langmaker (www.langmaker.com I think). I've never looked
through it, but it seems from what I've heard that it's a must for people who
want to invent languages and don't know how to begin (I'm completely self-taught
in that respect, that's why I never really looked at this page. I should
though... maybe one day...).
