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]]. |

The ''ISO 639-3'' language code request is rejected as “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.”<ref>https://iso639-3.sil.org/request/2017-035</ref><ref>https://iso639-3.sil.org/sites/iso639-3/files/change_requests/2007/CR_Comments_2007-011.pdf</ref> |

It's prose is excellent, and goes into depth about its subject. Certain sections of the article could be expanded slightly, but it has done enough to recieve good article status.”<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Toki_Pona/GA1</ref> |

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 "{{tok|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 {{lang|fi|kierteishäntäkarhu}}, meaning kinkajou. |

Organised by jan Elin and jan Wena, 9 people (jan Elin, jan Wena, jan Male, jan Mimoku, jan Tomi, jan Piki, jan Jana, jan Mika; jan Masin in the video one does not seem to understand much) from 5 countries (Russia, Czechia, Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia) meet in Brno, Czech Republic to enjoy studying and using the Toki Pona language together. As all of them are Esperantists, Esperanto is their second language besides Toki Pona. During the first day there is a Skype chat with jan Sonja. On the second day jan Male has a presentation about the history of Czechia in Toki Pona and jan Wena, jan Jana, and jan Mimoku watch a total lunar eclipse. They go to see the town and there is a town tour in Toki Pona. jan Male and jan Wena also use Signed Toki Pona to communicate while eating. A signed postcard is sent to jan Sonja. jan Elin and jan Male have participated in the ''Somero Esperanto-Studado'' (SES) by E@I which happens every summer in Slovakia. jan Elin thought it would be a good idea to organise a meeting to learn Toki Pona. jan Wena came up with the name ''Eŭropa Tokipona Studado'' (''EToSo'') or kama sona pi toki pona lon ma Elopa (kama kulupu Etoso).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkKSRbuI8Qw</ref><ref>http://tokipona.info/Renkonti%C4%9Doj</ref><ref>https://tokipona.fandom.com/wiki/kama_sona_pi_toki_pona_lon_ma_Elopa</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNY7lu1Tw0Y</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHQtsPzv728</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hfSbvd4NWo</ref><ref name=":14">https://www.facebook.com/tokipona.info/posts/764004307058940?__tn__=-R</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/tokipona.info/posts/763130200479684?__tn__=-R</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/tokipona.info/photos/a.384254255033949/750266688432702/?type=3&theater</ref><ref>https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokipono#Renkonti%C4%9Doj</ref><ref>https://www.facebook.com/groups/sitelen/permalink/939665856087800/</ref> |

This is an overview of the history of Toki Pona, including significant developments in the language and its communities.
Where possible, please provide a source and a complete date. When adding a new link, please archive it via both Wayback Machine and archive.today or archive.is.
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]
