How do you create words which are not part of the English language, but sound English? For example: janertice, bellagom

The commonest method of creating a new word is to add a prefix or suffix to an existing one. Hence realisation (1610s), democratise (1798), detonator (1822), preteen (1926), hyperlink (1987) and monogamish (2011). The inverse of the above: the creation of a new root word by the removal of a phantom affix.
To create your own made-up word, try combining 2 words which already exist to create a word with a new meaning. Use words in your native language or combine words from different languages. You can even get inspiration from young children, who often make up their own words.
A lot of us make up new words. They're called neologisms or coinages. Making up new words is fun, creative, and—especially when that word addresses a gap in the language—an extremely useful thing to do.
Consider this algorithm, which is really just a degenerate case of a Markov chain.

Take the start of one English word and the end of another and concatenate.
E.g.
Fortune + totality = fortality
You might want to add some more rules like only cutting your words on consonant-vowel boundaries and so on.
