'''Esperanto''', often [[tokiponize]]d as '''[[Language names|{{tp|toki Epelanto}}]]''',<ref>{{cite pu|122}}</ref> is an [[international auxiliary language]]{{aside|IAL}} constructed by {{w|L. L. Zamenhof}}.
[[Toki Pona]] overlaps with Esperanto and {{w|Esperanto culture|its culture}} in various respects. Many early Toki Pona enthusiasts were {{w|Esperantist}}s, and many words in Toki Pona are derived from Esperanto words. However, the languages drastically differ in design and [[philosophy]]. Unlike Esperanto, Toki Pona is not an IAL and is not as concerned with growth
Some features of Toki Pona are designed to be the opposite of those in Esperanto. For example, {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} found the {{w|Esperanto phonology|phonology of Esperanto}} "hard to pronounce" due to using many similar phonemes, and decided to give Toki Pona a minimal, crosslinguistically compatible [[phonology]].<ref name="roundtable 21" />
