People often create their own languages or secret codes for fun, privacy, or to build a sense of community. For example, “Pig Latin” is a playful way children use to make language more amusing. Secret codes and made-up languages can also be used for privacy in espionage or to create exclusive group identities, like in certain fandoms or clubs.
