'''{{tok|Linku}}'''{{aside|{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}: {{sp|Linku}}}} is a {{w|free and open-source}} {{w|Multilingual dictionary|multilingual}} [[dictionary]] project for [[Toki Pona]], including a collaborative dataset and a collection of [[tool]]s.<ref>[https://linku.la/about/ "About Linku"]. {{tp|lipu Linku}}. Retrieved 16 October 2023.</ref>
{{tok|Linku}} includes various pieces of infrastructure to make its [[#Data|data]] available through webpages, Discord servers, and third-party projects. Unlike many prior dictionaries, {{tok|Linku}} abstains from the English-style [[Parts of speech|part-of-speech]] analysis, is more comprehensive in its selection of words, is more transparent about words' usage levels using [[Usage categories|original survey data]], and is regularly updated.<ref name="asi2022">{{cite YouTube|id=3ycg6Wl_QzU|title=Linku li seme?|trans-title=What is {{tok|Linku}}?|language=tok|author={{tok|[[kala Asi]]}}|channel={{tok|kala Asi}}|handle={{tok|kala_asi}}|date=19 August 2022|archive-url=//web.archive.org/web/20230608133557/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ycg6Wl_QzU|archive-date=20230608|access-date=18 October 2023|quote=}}</ref>
