Line 78:
Names are prioritised in their {{w|Acoustic phonetics|acoustic}} similarity rather than how they are {{w|Articulatory phonetics|articulated}}.
Phonemes are often matched to the closest {{w|place of articulation}}. {{w|Labial consonant|labials}} become /p, m, w/; {{w|Coronal consonant|coronals}} become /t, n, s, l/; and {{w|Velar consonants|velar}}, {{w|uvular consonants|uvular}}, and {{w|pharyngeal}} consonants become /k/ (e.g. ''{{lang|fr|f'''r'''ançais}}'' {{IPA|[fʁɑ̃sɛ]}} > {{tp|'''K'''anse}}). In particular, the {{w|voiceless labiodental fricative}} /f/ becomes /p/, and its voiced counterpart /v/ becomes /w/, the same applies to similar sounds.
The {{w|manner of articulation}} more closely matches the phoneme. {{w|Affricates}} generally become {{w|fricatives}}. Due to their {{w|Acoustic phonetics|acoustic}} similarity to {{w|lateral fricatives}}, it is recommended that voiceless laterals become /s/. {{w|Nasal consonants}} and {{w|nasal vowels}} in final position become [[coda n|coda /n/]] to follow Toki Pona's phonotactics.
Line 88:
It is suggested keeping the same number of syllables when tokiponizing, dropping a consonant rather than inserting a vowel. However, the order of phonemes may be switched to save consonants from being dropped. For example, ''{{lang|ar-Latn|Lubnān}}'' ({{lang|ar|لبنان}}, "Lebanon") becomes {{tp|Lunpan}} rather than {{tp|Lupan}}.
Vowels are matched to the closest one in the {{w|vowel space}}. The {{w|schwa}} may be turned into any vowel
