I would love to create artificial language (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ido

'artificial language' is the definition.
(Ido is an example)

'i would love' is the wordplay.
'i would' becomes 'I'd'.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'id'+'o'='IDO'

'to create' is the link.

(Other definitions for ido that I've seen before include "Words made up" , "Artificial language" , "Traditional affirmation to some marriage vows" , "Prepared tongue" , "Marriage response" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
