{{Short description|History of Toki Pona}}
{{Needs work|
*Archive and expand bare links into [[Project:Citing sources|proper references]] using [[:Category:Citation templates|citation templates]].
----
This article is <strong>not amenable to reading or editing due to its scope</strong>.
*Check priorities. Many events may not be considered significant enough to belong here, or may be more relevant to English-speaking communities than to Toki Pona itself, and should be moved to other articles. (See [[Wikipedia]] for an example.)
*Consensus appears to be to move from a fully chronological list of events, to summary-based prose. Collate the remaining spread-out, redundant play-by-plays into paragraphs at the first mention. Copyedit to remove redundant wording. Move full details to designated articles (again, see [[Wikipedia]]). Try to pare back to only the start date, inciting event, and outcome.
----
It has also been suggested that this article be split into multiple articles and replaced with a summary (perhaps like a more involved {{sect|Toki Pona#History}}) afterwards. The exact course of action is [[Talk:History#Overhaul, including possible split|under discussion]].

Toki Pona! The Natural, Simple Language. Toki Pona is a pidgin-like language designed to express basic human realities by reducing words and ideas to their most simple and universal meanings and avoiding unnecessary complexity. Inspired by the principles of Taoism and primitivism, the entire language has only 14 sounds and under 200 words
