Uniqueness	Matsui is a language designed by a teenager, originally to satisfy a nation for an MMORPG, but then it evolved into a simplified language with the intent of having very few ways of saying things. Except for a few words, the lexicon resembles nothing of the actual lexicon of any living language, except perhaps by coincidence.
Language Sources	Basic English and Esperanto.
Design Principles	The lexicon is kept as simple as possible, and every part of speech is forced to be specifically that.
Interest Of Others	Two friends have taken interest in it. One, because I use a negating particle instead of a whole separate word, such as "light" to "dark". The other, because I actually use particles.
