Caution: The subject of this article is nonstandard and will not be understood by most speakers.
If you are a learner, this information will not help you speak the language. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the standard style, and to be informed and selective about which nonstandard styles you adopt.

In sitelen pona, name glyphs are special glyphs which represent personal names instead of words. Unlike standard names in cartouches, many name glyphs do not indicate pronunciation.

List of name glyphs
