Oligosynthetic language

From Langmaker

An oligosynthetic language is one which features a highly minimalistic set of roots from which all words are constructed. Compounding and derivational morphology are common methods such languages use. Examples of oligosynthetic languages include Sona, aUI, Ygyde, Kali-sise, and Vuyamu. Toki Pona is probably more accurately termed oligo-isolating.
