Toki Pona is a supremely simple constructed language. It's a real Newspeak (from Orwell's 1984), but for good and not evil.
It's very cool. Unfortunately nobody seems to seriously use it for international collaboration. (Apparently this is called auxlang, and obviously English right now is it.)
I was initially grumpy about the "pre-verb" part of speech, but now I believe it's consistent with the general rule that a word modifies its preceding word. For example, a noun precedes its adjectives, and a verb precedes its adverb. So: mi ken pali == I can work. mi wile e ken pali == I want the ability to work.
