Auxlang archives has some. Also a search for the Bahasan

Grammar, like vocab is worked to resemble the more
familiar grammars on a worldwide basis. Indo-european
and Sinitic are the most numerous over-groups. Analytical
style of English and Chinese, with maximal regularity.
Pidgins like Papiamentu kept in mind.

It's a human language.

Effort is to seek maximum familiarity -- which
is often diffuse. Immediate "readibility" to the elites
of Europe is not a goal.
