The creation of a new language is of course only an amateur's game, or
a hobby of sorts. It cannot be realized in a substantially academic
environment. There are some of us crazed individuals who believe that
it can be made a useful language, and who are pleased with its beauty
and system. Thus far, the language owes heavily to Greek and Latin which
it translates, and English which we speak, as well as some fantastic
ideas which we may never account for fully. ;)

Well, don't forget other Germanic languages. When we are discussing neologisms (which seems to be fairly rarely these days) we quite often try to calque words from other languages, e.g. Thiudanisks being used in the sense of "German"
