Status: early draft
Faeke is a constructed language inspired by Lojban, Toki Pona, English, and Polynesian languages (Samoan, Hawaiian, Tahitian, and Maori).
It is an experimental creole for worldbuilding around a solarpunk future where humanity lives across the solar system in balance with technology and nature. Inspired by Polynesian wayfinding and concepts like rahui and mana, it tries to encode values of simplicity, sustainability, and coexistence with the environment.

This project include a script to translate it from English and optionally display it in Katakana, Hiragana, Hangul, Devanagari, or Elder Futhark.
