Kaikiwan is heavily aesthetically influenced by the Polynesian languages, mainly [[w:Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] and [[w:Māori language|Māori]], and much of its vocabulary is borrowed from said languages as well as English and Japanese. However, its grammar is entirely unique and not based on any prevailing natlangs, and any similarities are coincidental unless specified otherwise. | Kaikiwan is heavily aesthetically influenced by the Polynesian languages, mainly [[w:Hawaiian language|Hawaiian]] and [[w:Māori language|Māori]], and much of its vocabulary is borrowed from said languages as well as English and Japanese.
