Re: tp's recent word growth
Yeah I'm mentally putting the new words on the list of archaic and proposed words-- which I don't use unless I'm in an edgy mood.

What sort of grammar do you have in mind for this language?

[jan Ape]

It's going to be in the same word order as English (Subject, Verb, Object). Adjectives come before Nouns.

Also, these is no word for "to be" so the word "pila" is used which means something like "truely", "really", "truth", "real", "fact".

Here is the Lord's Prayer

nuita puku patinu pila ni kiali.
Our parent/God is truly in the sky.

nuita puku kia puna tua tupi titula.
We do goodness towards your name.

nuita puku pili tupi natiu nupi tua.
We want your nation to move toward.

nuita puku pili tupi pili pila kapi piti.
[l]We want your desires to truly have view.[/l]

lilu kapi piti ni puanita ku kiali.
It'll give view in Earth and in the sky.

nuita puku pili nuita puku luka tipu kunali kita ku nuita puku pili tupi lana nuita puku nala kuali nuita puku lana nala pua tipi pikua.
We want our daytime eating stuff and we want you to accept our evil like we accept the evil of other people.

nuita puku pili tupi kapi nuita puku pua tipu pua tupi kapu pua nuita puku puna ku kapi nuita puku pua nala.
We want you to hold us from the time of your opinions of our purity and keep us away from evil.

pila.
truly/Amen

Note:

move toward = to come; move (away) from = to leave, exist
have view = show, display, exhibit, demonstrate
have know = teach
opinions of (our) purity = judgment
time of your opinions of our purity = from your time of judgment

Nice graphs.

The language of origin part--that is an auxlang concern. Did you have in mind the various design considerations for an interlanguage/auxlang? In any case, the phonetics are restrictive enough that for many of these word pairs, you cant easily see the original.

Having just recently tried to write a small language myself, how did you pick the words? I see many of them match up to tokipona, but with longer lists of similar words.

jan Ape o. sina pali e toki pi nanpa seme? I know of this, Bon Wen (which, polished up a bit, has potential, btw), Puna, Bonko, and Keniko (is this the same as Keniban?). I've been trying to find all of them, but you seem to be spread out all over the net. Do you have a main website, or a list your best (ie most fleshed-out or still-under-improvement) ones?
