This is a list of input methods for Toki Pona, including different scripts, such as sitelen pona.

Latin script input[edit | edit source]

ASCII syllabary (jan Lentan)[edit | edit source]

ASCII syllabary keyboard layout (Desktop)
Android-based 12-key keyboard layout

In 2022, jan Lentan developed an experimental keyboard layout, inspired by jan Misali's toki pona ASCII syllabary.[1][2] It is currently not available for download, either for desktop or mobile.

jan Lentan sets out the following guidelines for his system:

  • None of the lowercase characters for existing letters should used.
  • Syllables in the form jV use the capital version of their respective vowel.
  • If Cu syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ci is its lowercase version.
  • If Co syllable uses a capital letter, the corresponding Ca is its lowercase version.
  • The number keys 1, 2, 3, and 5 are used for wan, tu, mute, and luka, respectively (as in their first mora of the words).
  • The words li and mi are mapped to J and I keys, respectively.
  • The syllable lu is additionally mapped to the V key for easy accessibility.

Sitelen Pona Keyboard Layout (jan Lepeka)[edit | edit source]

Keyboard layout by jan Lepeka

In 2022, jan Lepeka created a sitelen pona keyboard, in which keys are directly mapped to UCSUR codepoints. Common words are typed with no modifiers, while rarer words are typed with ⇧ Shift, as well as AltGr and ⌥ Option (macOS).[5] It is currently available on the KreativeKorp website.

In 2023, she also made a set of keycaps for this layout.[6][7] In 2024, jan Sawaki created a webpage to practice using this layout.[8] Later in 2024, this layout got updated to support Keyman Mobile.

Toki Pona Keyboard (Timeo Pochin)[edit | edit source]

Layout of the Toki Pona Keyboard
Intermediate keys in the Toki Pona Keyboard

The Toki Pona Keyboard created by Timeo San Pochin is a virtual keyboard app for Android,[9] using standard Android libraries. Although the keyboard has sitelen pona key caps, it inputs plain-text sitelen Lasina; therefore, sitelen pona only appears when combined with a font that supports ASCII transcription.

The keyboard consists of four rows and seven columns.

  • The leftmost two columns are the eight most used words:
    li e ni a mi toki pona ala
  • The third through sixth columns contain words starting with each letter, sorted alphabetically:
    ale en ike jan kama la ma nimi o pi sina tawa utala wile
  • The other keys include punctuation and formatting options:
    [ "   . ? ⌫ Backspace ↵ Enter

In order to insert the word on the key cap, the key should be tapped twice. For all remaining words, one must tap the first letter (⬛︎ light blue) on this part of the keyboard, and then tap the key for the second letter (⬛︎ cyan), and, if the second letter was ⬛︎ dark cyan, optionally the third letter. The last column lacks any words and consists of the following symbols/actions (⬛︎ dark blue): period, question mark, backspace and new line. To type a dash between two words, the first word must be dragged towards the second one. This functionality exists to type scales compound glyphs in fonts such as linja pona. Additionally, non-pu words are highlighted in an ⬛︎ orange background.

Wakalito[edit | edit source]

Wakalito is a keyboard layout created by jan Likipi and kala pona Tonyu in 2022.[10][11] It is based on the glyph components in sitelen pona to type words, similar to Cangjie for Chinese characters. It is available on all desktop platforms and on iOS.
