But it was not artificial created. Which is not a bad thing. Because a natural language is created by millions of speakers, so it sounds a bit strange to me, that only one person should be the creator of a language.

We did it as kids: "secret language" we called it. The big thing is the development of speech. From sounds to words. Once you have that, adding another language is not that complicated.
Yeah, we too. I just meant, that language is a process that involved millions. And it does not make sense to me, that millions should speak the language only one person created. (even though I like the intention)
I often also observed, that 2 people, who spend lots of time together, also kind of develope their own language, that others have it hard to follow.
That can become extreme, there was a russian family, living 40 years in isolation, the russian the daughters spoke, was not understandable at all to other people
