Finding the right way can be really hard, because you need anything structured very well and know how it will look like when finished before starting. Plan anything you want to implement.
All in all, you have to choose what you want, if you want more control, use a complex-scripting-engine, if you want ease of use, create a simple one.

Cheers.
Remeber, building a language (even a tiny one) can take a significant amount of time. There are lots of little languages out there, which are readily available for embedding.
I particularly like the lua language; it's a free, fast (byte-compiled) little language that heavily relies on "meta" syntax -- the syntax simple and block structured, but it takes a while for the real power of the language to "click" -- check out a few bits of sample code before disreguarding it. I'm using it for my game DigiBot.
LUA, by the way, is the extension language used by Baldur's Gate.
