Uniqueness	It's a language designed for an alien species which processes information differently enough that their language - while having a simple grammar and phonology - is very difficult for humans.
Language Sources	Nova Scotian is its direct ancestor, and I do mean Direct.
Design Principles	The major grammatical rule is that the determinant is center-embedded in the determined. Aside from that, it also relies on a simple noun-case system and a syllabic (though a bit fricative) phonology.
Interest Of Others	If one assumes that the inventor is actually the person who came up with Nova Scotian, then I am that other person interested in it. I found that center-embedding is a fascinating and mind-bending way to try to write and think.
