Actually, pidgin languages are naturally evolved, not made up, and are considered viable by linguists. And all signs were made up at some point. There has to be a first time a sign was ever used as a symbol. That is how languages evolve. Same with words. All words originated somewhere, all signs origninated somewhere.
