Oligosynthetic constructed languages
Some constructed languages (conlangs), for example Sona, aUI, Arahau, Ygyde, Kali-sise, and Vuyamu, may be considered oligosynthetic.
Unlike oligosynthetic languages, oligoanalytic or oligoisolating languages are ones which have few morphemes but tend toward isolating structure. For example, the conlang Toki Pona has been described as oligoisolating.[1]
