How to create a language these days?
Learning to write a compiler
I know some c++, VERY good at php, pro at css html, okay at javascript. So I was thinking of how was c++ created I mean how can computer understand what codes mean? How can it read... so is it possible I can create my own language and how?

You can just take a subset of an existing language or come up with a simple variation of it and get started. However, if you have plans for creating your very own programming language, you will have to give it some thought. I think of designing a programming language as divided two phases: The big-picture phase.
There are various ways that multiple languages can be used in one project. Some examples: You can write a DLL in, say, C, and then use that library from, say, a VB program. You could write a server program in, say C++, and have lots of different language implementations of the client.
Write words over and over again, practice having conversations with your friends, write notes back and for the to each other in a notebook, or send each other messages online. The more you write and speak your language, the faster it will become second nature to you. Decide how to share the language with friends.
Answer: Programs written in C++ are compiled and then the compiled code runs to generate the output. C++ is thus a programming language and not a scripting language, since scripting languages are directly interpreted at run time and no prior compilation of the code takes place.
If you're interested in compiler design ("how can computer understand what codes mean"), I highly recommend Dragon Book. I used it while in college and went as far as to create programming language myself.
