Ilimi is a constructed language where words themselves contain their own definition.
Each letter defines a core concept, such as self (a), relation (e), thought (i), or world (o).
From these letters, consonant and vowel can be combined to form an abstract concept.
For example, the syllable "mi" contains "m" (change) and "i" (thought), resulting in the concept of realization
(learning).
These syllables can then be combined to create words with more specific meanings.
For example, "ta", which defines the concept of "memory", can be combined with "do" (archive) to form "tado",
meaning "history" (memory archive).
The goal of Ilimi is to create a language that is easy to learn and memorize, as you can understand new words just
by looking at their parts.
Ilimi itself embodies the meaning of thought (i), intuition (li), and learning (mi).
There is still much to explore in this language, and it is a work in progress. Letter and syllables meanings are
still being refined, and entirely new letters could be introduced in the future.
