Honestly it’s difficult to *prevent* words from being created. For example, there are documented situations where a group of deaf children lived together in an institution, and they spontaneously developed a complete sign language.

There are also cases, like the Lykov family in Soviet Russia, where siblings grew up in total isolation from society. They too developed their own dialect of Russian, incomprehensible to outsiders.
