Nukayi

Nukayi [IPA: nukaji] translated: The language, is a conlang mainly based on Austronesian languages such as the Malay language and also on fews indigenous languages. The idea behind the conlang was to focus in constructing a simple grammar structure in order to facilitate the use of verbs, rules of negation, expressions and the use of a neutral gender (without he&she) in order for the construction of syntaxes. The idea was inspired from the conlang Toki Pona and official languages who follow the idea of basic grammar structure.

The conlang was also made for fun and not necessarily for a fictional work or to be used for a purpose of "international language".
