The principle of creation for Poliespo was Nvwtohiyada's belief that certain languages contain words that made communication quicker, which he referred to as "lightning bolts" or "lightning words", and the goal was to combine as many of these as possible into one language. The language was originally referred to as Anagalisgi, the romanized form of Cherokee word for lightning. Most of Poliespo comes from Cherokee, English, Esperanto, and Spanish, the languages that Nvwtohiyada could speak. The philosophy behind the language is reminiscent of sound symbolism or phonosemantics, and therefore radically differs from the principles of Esperanto. Nvwtohiyada also claimed that learning Poliespo is a golden opportunity to acquire an "Iroquoian spirit". It is claimed that speaking Poliespo well is impossible without knowing Esperanto. In fact, repeating yourself in Esperanto, if you aren't understood in Poliespo, is considered speaking Poliespo.

Finding information about the Poliespo language as a whole is difficult, and most of the information is poorly explained. However, Poliespo is believed to have 32 consonants, including the glottal stop, in addition to 19 vowels. Poliespo is also a tonal language, having 3 or 4 tones. Rising tone is the only tone that is marked, using an acute accent, and it is unknown what the other tones are. Ẑ is , z̆ is . The reason why is written with the number 2, is because Waldon believed the number 2 resembles a nose.
Grammar
The structure is more similar to Ido than to Esperanto, since radicals are inflected ; therefore, the language is not perfectly agglutinative. Unlike Ido, it has only one prefix in addition to those of Esperanto: pe-, which is used to indicate the "neutral" gender. Besides the accusative, there is also a subject suffix, as in Korean and Japanese.
