About Nimatep
“Nimatep” is roughly translated to “balanced language”. Many of its words are symmetrical, since all verbs start and end with angle brackets, all adjectives start and end with parentheses, and all nouns start and end with square brackets. However, for every word, there is its opposite, which always starts with an exclamation mark, breaking the symmetry. There are also opposites in terms of sentiment: the character “v” (“l”) indicates a positive connotation while the character “^” (“s”) indicates a negative one. Nimatep maintains symmetry with interjections such as “ooo” (“ɪɪɪ”), meaning “hmm”.
