There have been several proposals for a cursive or shorthand form of the sitelen pona writing system, whether framed as alternative writing styles or separate sitelenponidos. These tend to reduce stroke counts, change recurring shapes, and distinguish similar shapes, at costs such as making combined glyphs more difficult to implement.
None of these systems are standard or commonly used. One challenge for standardization and adoption is that sitelen pona has no consistent stroke order, so cursive forms of glyphs may look very different and be difficult for other speakers to identify depending on the chosen starting point.
Common features[edit | edit source]
Many systems are specifically based on Latin and Cyrillic cursive styles. In addition to joining strokes within a glyph, these systems often attempt to join up adjacent glyphs (or at least glyphs within phrases).
Features frequently proposed include writing jan (jan) as a loop, and joining emitters () into a W-like stroke.
