*Archive and expand bare links into [[Project:Citing sources|proper references]] using [[:Category:Citation templates|citation templates]].
*Add proper references. not tiny URL links, not bare link.
----
*Finish updating 2020–2021 to past tense and month-based subsections.
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]].

<blockquote>
the ISO 639-3 Registration Authority has determined that the request for this new code element is premature. The propagation of a new constructed language is often a short-lived interest of limited scope; few constructed languages have lasting impact in the world community of languages to become more than mere novelties. Toki Pona seems to fit the novelty category, as an intentionally "minimalist" language. During 2007 there was some media interest in Toki Pona, in which its novel aspects were highlighted. If Toki Pona survives the next few years and continues to develop, both in applications and in user base, then the RA will be open to consider a new request for assignment of a code element for Toki Pona.

On 13 March, it was requested to check whether the good article (GA) status of Wikipedia's Toki Pona article was in need of reassessment. The reviewer criticized many unreferenced sections, inconsistent citation formatting, overreliance on primary sources and personal websites, and too much unnecessary detail. The assessment was placed on hold to give contributors a chance to improve the article. The only reply was by a self-described major contributor to the article, who said "it doesn't feel particularly GA to me. More fun than encyclopedic".<ref name=":12">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toki_Pona/GA2</ref><ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Sonjaaa&oldid=371038617#GA_reassessment_of_Toki_Pona</ref> On 20 March, the article was delisted from "Language and literature good articles".<ref name=":12" />

Under construction This article needs work:

This article is not amenable to reading or editing due to its scope.

  • 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 Toki Pona § History) afterwards. The exact course of action is under discussion.

If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

2001[edit | edit source]

August 2001[edit | edit source]

On 8 August, Sonja Lang made the first public post about Toki Pona on her website at GeoCities, under the username Marraskuu, meaning "November" in Finnish.[1] In her post and email logs, Lang claimed that the entire language has "150 words". The website was later moved to tokipona.org[2] and kisa.ca/tokipona.[3]

On 9 August, the website claimed:[4]

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

Matthew Chrisholm (jan Matejo), Lang's roomate at the time, seems to be the second Toki Pona speaker.

December 2001[edit | edit source]

On 5 December, the web domain tokipona.org was registered.[5]

On 6 December, the word "cute" was added to the description ("Toki Pona is a cute, pidgin-like language").[6]

2002[edit | edit source]

March 2002[edit | edit source]

On 24 March 2002, a Toki Pona group was created on Yahoo! Groups.[7] The group was polled on whether the now-obsolete third-person pronoun iki should be changed, as it was deemed to be too long and too similar to ike.[8]

On the same day, Toki Pona was reviewed by Damian Yerrick,[9][10] who "has pointed out problems that eventually were corrected".[11]

On 26 March, Lang published a dictionary of country names.[12]

April 2002[edit | edit source]

On 8 April, Chuck Smith created an article about Toki Pona on the English Wikipedia, titled "Toki Pona language".[13] The article's existence was repeatedly contested, but it ultimately passed a good article nomination and had a fact featured on the main page in 2019.

May 2002[edit | edit source]

On 15 May, Lang proposed the word kiwen ("rock, stone, metal, material") to replace the previously used compound wawa ma ("hardness of the earth").[14] A poll[15] resulted in 6 votes for kiwen and 2 votes for wawa ma.[16]

On 16 May, another poll on the Yahoo! group about iki was created, and the result was to change iki to ona.[17]

On 19 May, Nikita Ayzikovsky (jan Nikita), who seems to be the third fluent speaker of Toki Pona,[18] created AEI pi toki pona,[19] an alphabet chart that has become well recognized through its inclusion in other resources.

On 31 May, following the second poll, iki was replaced with ona.[20][21]

July 2002[edit | edit source]

On 8 July, forum user Viktoro proposed converting Toki Pona into a three-vowel language. Lang considered the idea, but ultimately rejected it.[22]

On 16 July, Lang published the Toki Pona phonetic conversion guidelines.[23] Some proper names for countries were updated, such as France becoming ma Kanse instead of the previous ma Lanse.[12]

October 2002[edit | edit source]

On 10 October, Knight published the poem "kili lili".[24] It was later included in his o kama sona e toki pona! course, becoming a well-recognised poem among the community.[25]

November 2002[edit | edit source]

On 1 November, ali became an alternative to ale,[26][27] en was made to only join head nouns and not modifiers, kan was deprecated, and kin was used for emphasis of any word.[28]

2003[edit | edit source]

February 2003[edit | edit source]

On 12 February, Lang introduced the question type anu seme (or what?), inspired by the German particle oder.[29]

July 2003[edit | edit source]

On 25 July, Knight completed the first version of his o kama sona e toki pona! course,[30] which would become a major learning resource until Knight shut his site down in 2020.

2004[edit | edit source]

March–November 2004[edit | edit source]

On 31 March, Lang asked on the Wikipedia-l mailing list how to add a Toki Pona language edition of Wikipedia,[31][32] leading to the creation of an official Toki Pona Wikipedia on 4 April.[33] However, it was closed on 16 November.[34][35][36][37] It later moved to Wikicities (later Wikia, Fandom) before being independently hosted as lipu Wikipesija.

April 2009[edit | edit source]

In the Yahoo group, jan Sonja presented the word kijetesantakalu as an April Fools' Day joke:[45]

Although some of the new words I am considering are still in the testing phase, I can safely say that one word that has made the cut is "kijetesantakalu", a noun for any animal from the Procyonidae family, such as raccoons, coatis, kinkajous, olingos, ringtails and cacomistles. I took it from the Finnish word kierteishäntäkarhu, meaning kinkajou.

October 2009[edit | edit source]

On 1 October, jan Sonja closed the yahoo group and replaced it with the phpBB forum, citing that she wanted to have more direct ability to administrate the community. On the same day, she would replace the previous version of her website with a wiki based one at en.tokipona.org.
