And it could be fun to try to create two distinct conlangs, and then age them, and then smash them into each other.
Hmm. Klingon and Laadan for maximum cultural conflict and interesting syncretism. A couple of different Tolkien languages for something appropriate in-world. There's an argument to be made for modern Hebrew as primarily a constructed language, but I think most of the languages it's crashed into have been non-constructed. The Middle Earth equivalent of Yiddish would be kind of awesome.
