History of Toki Pona
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.

2001 Edit

August 2001 Edit

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

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

March 2002 Edit

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

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

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

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

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

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

February 2003 Edit

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

July 2003 Edit

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

March–November 2004 Edit

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

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

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.
