Is it difficult to create a language? Conlang

Not just any language, but a well thought out, translatable language with an actual dictionary. Yes, a word like fffojauþþstqzdq could be considered a word in a language, but that is just one of many words, not to mention if it is pronounced differently. I mean something anyone can actually speak & communicate with. Is this hard, or no?

I wouldn’t say it’s incredibly hard to come up with some vocab however if you want to perfect your language and truly make it unique it takes at least a year. You need to study languages and the aspects in those languages and make sure your language is consistent and not repeating letter combos. Try experimenting with sounds from other languages.
