There is a film called Nell from the 90s with Jodi Foster as a feral child with her own language.
That sounds like one of those situations where, inexplicably, nobody ever asked the obvious (to me, at least) question: why would a single person living alone in the jungle or whatever, create a language?

Not in the jungle and not feral really, wrong word choice. The movie as I remember was decent but a might ponderous. A reason for Jodi Foster to ACT in all caps by talking all crazy. Based on a play therefore all symbolic and meaningfull and such. The play based on a case of real two real life girls Poto and Cabengo.
I was working in a movie theatre that played it when it came out. All the employees had fun imitating Fosters lines. Kind of a cross between "The Miracle Worker" and the French film "The Wild Child"

I have seen Nell but that concept isn't enough for a whole movie let alone a whole series.
