Uniqueness	It was created for a micronation. An accent mark was recently borrowed from Spanish. The letter "y" is not used in the script, instead "i" + vowel combinations make its sound. Has many terms for greetings, mostly inventions.
Language Sources	Greek, Spanish, Indonesian, English.
Design Principles	This is the Middle Laval incarnation of the Laval language. Old Laval was a completely agglutinating with hardly a concept of word-order. After the agglutination eroded, prepositions soaked in, and word-order was standardized, the language was re-classified "Middle Laval". Middle Laval is much closer to one citizen's original idea of an Indonesion-inspired conlang.
Interest Of Others	Citizens (12 at most) of our micro-nation; others interested in conlangs.
