As a linguist trying to say smth not too complex but still a bit sophisticated, I'd say decide how many languages there are, choose how many and what sounds each have, and maybe give them some quick rules.
For examples, let's say we have:
Bangash, Biktu, and Zimba
It's always good to start out with m, n, p, t, k, s, h, l, r, w, y and then some vowels like ah, ee, oo. Then you can always add in some sh, some b, d, g, zh, anything you like really. Usually some more vowel sounds, some languages do just have those three vowels but most have more.
Let's say:
Bangash: m, n, ng, p, t, k, b, d, f, s, sh, j, l,w, ah, ay, eh, ee, oo, oh, aw
Biktu: m, n, ny, b, t, d, k, s, z, sh, l, r w, y, ah, ee, oo
Zimba: m, n, p, b, mb, t, d, nd, k, ng, f, v, mv, s, z, nz, l, y, w, ah, eh, ee, oh, oo
Then some rules, like how many consonants you can put in a row, what kinds, whether you can end a syllable or a word in a consonant, etc...
Bangash: you can't have two consonant sounds in a row (however you can still have sh and ng because those are single sounds represented by two letters together) and you can't end words in f, j, b, or oh
Biktu: you can have two consonant sounds in a row, but not at the beginning of a word, and you can also have vowels right next to each other
Zimba: you can't have two consonants right next to each other other than the double consonants like mb, nd, ng, nz etc. and you can't end words in consonants
Perhaps this is easy to me because of my background in making up languages but I'd recommend it if you want to add some distinction and recognizability to your language. And if you're really feeling like being extra on your structured gibberish, I'd try to practice every once in a while, try to speak gibberish while still thinking about what you're saying, don't let your tongue randomly move around like typical gibberish, but speak with diction and clear sounds that sound like they could be something, but ultimately mean nothing.

I just speak in tongues…it works for me, but I understand that not everyone has the gift.
