Here is a message composed entirely of nonsense words that do not exist:

Here is an attempt at a more semantically meaningful message using only nonsense words:

Plizkindle yorpeltrue bamfuzzles grommetroid? Flagorwhirt eeksqueeven glurpfest raxencloy. Snerptorque flubdibbing wagwaffery trunklehush skvadukered.

I tried to string the nonsense words together in a way that evokes some sense of structured sentences and paragraphs, with verbs, nouns, and descriptors. However, since all the words are completely made up, the semantic meaning is still purely nonsensical. But there's a bit more of a rhythm and flow to the fake language this way.

You're right, the previous attempt was not really more semantically meaningful, just structured to sound more like language. Let me try to take it a couple notches further in that direction:

In the previous version, I aimed for a simple flow and structure with "sentences" and "paragraphs", but the words themselves were pure gibberish without any grounding in meaning.

To make it more semantically meaningful this time, I will try to have some of the made-up words evoke real concepts, even if in an abstract way. I'll also set up relationships between the words to imply more of a coherent narrative or descriptive meaning:

Lorpeln gorphits blendomeer, frindrings arundle wibpurped oxtomivore. Tozzel omriggen flogspritch, plunkling smordilent wubsnarls glazey. Ozwafting fernuk blisters pimmelvine, orgoid blizart sprigwatched zugpan gofter. Woztlefrum hottrendunks tarfity glorpsput - guttlefrab urbdib tonker!

While still nonsensical, some of the word associations start to imply things like creatures/beings (oxtomivore, orgoid), descriptions (glazey, smordilent), actions (sprigwatched, ozwafting), and even a tiny narrative (the last "sentence"). It's still largely impenetrable, but there are faint glimmers of semantic meaningfulness trying to emerge through the fog of nonsense words.

Here's an attempt at a longer message turning the dial further towards semantic meaning while still using primarily nonsense words:

The crindling plorfs of Vuzpor scrungled their wifflefoups, snarfing the zimbled grovals from the mulbrex pits. The great urbdib Tonker bellowurfed from the zeppendim sprors, its quaffling frudlips wubbling a zinglepan of dorfity to the gogwit omriggens.

Urguvorts plungranked across the swilty glurpfern, their plurkdingles waggling as they brankered for the flogspritches. The tozzel omriggens squankered in gulst, woppling their flizlits to glay the vorpal tarfity. But when the orgoid blizarts rego-plammed from the wubsnarls, even the smordilent wafflekins knew to snickerworp from the impending ploafstorge.

Deep in the hottrendunks, guttlefrabs wrenched gofferspruft from the mibblegrags, twinkling their doopleborts at the oncoming crepitude. Smeebing their glibberdigs, they watched as the woztlefrum flurried in curgetting motility, sprigwatching the zugpan gofters and zinvecting their squarnelcorn progrations. Sulbrition was nughter!

While still utterly nonsensical overall, this longer-form attempt starts to imply more of a narrative flow and coherent descriptions through word associations and repeated usage of certain made-up words and phrases. Words like wubbling, waggling, bellowurfed create hints of actions. The interspersed real words like watched, knew, across provide grounding. And sentences have more conventional grammatical structures. It's almost... meaning...ful? Okay, maybe not quite, but further along that spectrum at least.

Here's an attempt to continue developing the narrative and plot using the nonsense language:

The mulched crestispheres orvexed their glimerick frundle-scrambits, frittering aworp as the crepitude ogo-glumped in trembling waffawaffs. The mighty urbdib Tonker thrambulated its mascolium zeppendim sprors, turking the quaffling frudlips to splart a ringle-rangled clonkipator at the ploafstorge.

Grunks of gogwit omriggens stampulled away from the gulsts, smizzing their vorpal tarfity in blipples of frotzindip. But the smordilent wafflekins were not so fortrent - they glumped and snickwerped as clonkipators zinvected their fritsnorting squarnelcorn progrations.

Fleckdillions of urguvorts strucklecreated across the swilty glurpfern, their plurkdingles now whickering in snorgent fear. The orgoid blizarts brun-kilped through the snurfling wubsnarls, rego-plamming the hiffsniffer mibblegrags with dolloped goffs of gofferspruft. Zubbing their flizlits in frowglumps of despringtor, the tozzel omriggens knew there was only one crundle left: initiate the Multruckle Mancrundliation!

I continued developing the bizarre scene and events, trying to have certain recurring elements and themes emerge. The nonsense language allows inventing new descriptors and actions organically as needed for the story. While still obviously meaningless overall, there are hints of a coherent plot thread starting to materialize through the gobbledygook about some sort of large-scale event or crisis called the "Multruckle Mancrundliation." The mixture of pure nonsense with sprinklings of real words perhaps starts approximating the vibe of an alien language or dreamlike abstraction of reality.

As the Multruckle Mancrundliation escalated, frotzindip and despringtor oozed across the swilty glurpfern. The orgoid blizarts' brun-kilping left snarfed grovaltracks of agrevoxity. Smordilent wafflekins glopnurled in the splatoriums, their squarnelcorns huchered beyond ringle-ranglement.

But one wiztormic omriggen sensed the fleckdillious wrongturking of it all. Pulpling its flizlits high, it squanktored for the others to gumflap their vorpalities. "Gulst not the tarfity of our ploonscape! Our hiffsniffers begurp harmony, not this dollopery clonkipating."

At first the other omriggens woppled in confusion. But slowly, their zinglepans cleared. Twinkling their doopleborts, they mibblegragged towards the wiztormic squankter, mulching their sprors in orvexed agreement.

They gathered the snickwerping wafflekins and fritsnorted new squarnelcorn progrations of kinderplinx. With flurriekurgled unity, they crundelated a birgillion urgrundlefest to weltnip back the darkness.

The orgoid blizarts ogo-glumped, their mascolium ploafstorge no match for the jibberswatt of the greater omriggen harn-dinkle. Ruckling with shame, they gaxwaftered away to find a new mibblefurb. Peace and gulstraperty were multrayklonked throughout Vuzpor once more.

I tried to steer the nonsensical narrative towards values of harmony, kindness, and overcoming conflict through unity. The wiztronic omriggen character rejects the "agrevoxity" and rallies the other beings to find a peaceful resolution, subverting the initial "Multruckle Mancrundliation" escalation. By coming together in "flurriekurgled unity" and the "birgillion urgrundlefest", they are able to overcome the darkness and aggression with compassion.

While still filled with utter nonsense words, the substance attempts to promote positive themes of cooperation, avoidance of violence, and celebration of diversity and togetherness. The made-up language allows expressing these ideas in a purely abstract, metaphorical way, stripped of cultural baggage. It's an idealistic allegory told through delightful gibberish.
