When writing in Microsoft Word, I occasionally write strings of text in a
fictional language that I created. These words show up as spelling errors. I
know of course that I can simply add these words to the word list, if I
wanted to get rid of all the unpleasant red lines, but I don't want to shove
my wordlist full of nonsense-words, either. So I was wondering if it was
possible to create a new fake language, with a separate word list, in which
to store all the fictional words?

I'll start by saying I don't know the answer to your question beyond a quick
look in Word 2003 (details below).

However, you would get more and better answers if you were to ask in a group
associated with Microsoft Word.

Try one of these:

microsoft.public.word.newusers

microsoft.public.word.spelling.grammar

I think the second may be best for your question.

Looking in Word 2003, under Tools->Options->Spelling & Grammar (tab), there
is a button labeled: "Custom Dictionaries...". When clicked, you get the
Custom Dictionaries dialog, which has a button labeled "New..."

Might be what you want.

Thank you, but it is more like I want to create an entirely new language to
select from the language menu. Surely someone must have created some sort of
language-constructing program?
