Idea origin[edit]

This is the idea of writing a text using a small count of different words — around 100 to 150 — like with toki pona, but not the same words. The origin of the words can be any: English, German, Latin, anything. The main different feature of this kind of writing is it always defines words and word groups; reading words becomes easier. The purpose is writing idea definitions that are easier to read.

One originating purpose for en-x-pona is that people wanted to change the words in toki pona, but the group of words in toki pona cannot change. When toki pona is changed into a writing challenge where people can use any words inside a count of 100 to 150, this conflict of people with toki pona is gone.
