Answer
It would be extremely hard. How many people speak Esperanto?
ANSWER:
It's not necessary to be able to speak the invented language in order for it to gain popularity. Esperanto was created by intellectuals who miscalculated the evolution of language. Anthony Burgess invented language in A Clockwork Orange, which was made into a movie and has a cult like popularity as does the Klingon language invented by writers of the series Star Trek. Pig Latin, which seems to be an ancient language found by children generation after generation, that think it is new. If you want to create a language and popularize it, you will do so by creating a world with characters people can relate to and come to care about. The popularity of the language will come after the popularity of the characters who speak it has been established.
