Maybe Cebuano seems less complicated because you learned it as a child, knowing or caring nothing about the grammatical elements. You just began to understand what people were saying, and just learned how to reply or ask. The grammatical 'bones' of Tagalog and Cebuano are the same, they just use different prefixes, infixes and suffixes to do the same things to their respective root words. Inventing a language would be interesting, but isn't language about communication? Who would want to learn a language that could only communicate with one other person?
