Just plain old English with some words, names and phrases taken from other regions to offer a strange "dialect" akin to how the US, Canada, Australia and Ireland have their own English "dialect" per se, when compared to the UK (which also has odd words and spellings, ergo, colour instead of color.)

I have the Forhillian language. It’s still being developed, so I don’t have many words.
This nation represents my real life views.

Doge Landian. It's not great and definitely unfinished but... eh. I'm probably not going to mention it very much- just using it as a catch-all language right now so that I don't have to make 5 conlangs for the 5 rps i'm in

Once I get a pro license from vulgarlang.com, I can start creating words for the Aber language (no, like, it's called Aber). Problem is I don't know which base words to start with, and I want to create an alphabet that's similar-ish to Cyrillic.

I know this is a pretty ""old"" thread, but i haven't seen a conlang crowd on this site so far, so finding this one made me kinda happy.
I have a WIP conlang called "Yathinese" and is the national language of my nation. There's a factbook for it, but the factbook contains some outdated and retconned info, so.. yeah, im improving it later. I'm also pretty new to linguistics, so.. its def not perfect.
The language uses the S-O-V word order and has Agglutinative morphology.
It has over 27 Consonants and 4 vowels; a, i, e, u. Yathinese lack the /d/, /ð/, /ʧ/, and /d͡ʒ/ sounds.

The language I use for my nation is technically a conlang, Modern Gaulish (I call it Ambarrian for the purpose of RP here). It's a hypothetical modern descendant of the Ancient Gaulish language created by a group of people who study Gaulish culture and language, it's a pretty cool project imo. :)

An example:
"Esi mi biu in gwerghávach, né chwára in pentharíath ni nó hanathé e nó vithané....tar rhathúan Dé." [Esi mi biu ɡʷeɾɣ̞a:vaχ ne: χʷa:ɾa in penθaɾi:aθ ni no: hanaθe: e no: viθane: taɾ χɾaθu:an de:]

The question in the title is a bit vague because there's a character limit, but esentially: Did you make a conlang for your nation?Would you recommend it to people interested in conlangs?

I'm thinkings of really developing my nation's lore, and since I have made conlangs in the past I'm thinking of creating one for my nation.

My nation is based off an entire conlang made by Jack Eisenmann.

My nation's conlang was intended to be a Kra-Dai language heavily influenced by the Hlai and Nong languages.

I've made three so far: Mechyrdian (which was an early work that I'm not all too proud of), Tylan (my favorite), and Thedish (one that I'm also proud of, but not to the same extent as Tylan).

I had originally made Mechyrdian as a light parody of Esperanto, but then I decided to use it for my nation after some modifications. Tylan was my first serious conlang for my nation, spoken by the Tylans who play the Hungary to Mechyrdia's Austria-Hungary; its aesthetic was inspired by Old Norse, a slight amount of Hebrew, and the Rihannsu language of the Romulans from Star Trek. As time went on, however, Tylan eventually developed into its own thing entirely. Thedish is my most recent work, spoken by the Fulkreyksk Authoritariat, another country that exists in Mechyrdia lore; it's mostly an archaic Germanic mishmash with a few Slavic elements.

More or less, it has a language, but I did not thought its grammar, the philology of words etc. in any coherent way, I just create words when I need it, providing I maintain its "flavor" as a mix between Germanic languages, West Iberian languages, and Latin. I'm no linguist anyway, so my knowledge about linguistic is "wikipedia-level".

The only thing a bit more organized was the alphabet, in which I used Cyrillic mainly because it's cool (although I provided a more or less handwavy justification for using it), and changed the things from this script that would be redundant in my language, or when the Cyrillic character is too similar with other characters.
Don't take my nation too seriously. I don't.

I'm still in the process of making it. The official dictionary is still in its first draft and currently has 1,874 headwords; by the time I'm finished with it, I'm expecting to have approximately 4,000 headwords. And while I have a factbook about the Oddernian language out already, I will likely make some changes to the phonology and grammar after I finish the first draft of the dictionary. I'm also hoping to eventually find a way to type the language in its native script, but this seems a bit difficult.

I would absolutely recommend conlanging for a NationStates nation if conlangs are a personal interest. In my own case I've been working on the Oddernian language (and Oddernia itself) since long before I actually created this nation.
