A pangram is one or multiple sentences where each glyph in a language occurs at least once. A perfect pangram is when each glyph occurs exactly once. However, this is not possible in Toki Pona due to its syllable structure requiring a vowel for almost every consonant (and the language having more consonants than vowels). This page marks the shortest possible ones instead.

Pangrams with merged nasal

Some pangrams treat the coda nasal (as in pan) as identical to the onset n (as in n). Others consider them separate and are thus more useful as examples for scripts where those are written differently. The minimum number of characters is 17, as each consonant except n needs a vowel after it.

  • musi jo li tenpo weka / weka musi li jo tenpo — by akesi kon Nalasuni[1][2]
  • mi pu tan sijelo weka — by akesi kon Nalasuni[3]
  • mi pu jaki tan soweli — by akesi kon Nalasuni[4][2]
  • jan pi moku telo waso — by akesi kon Nalasuni[5][2]
  • weka jo la mi pu sin tu — by jan Wimili[6]
  • mi jan pi ko telo suwi — by jan Kapo[7]
  • jelo pi monsuta weka — by inari
  • kapesi li mu jo tu wan — by kapesi Pake[8]
  • kute pi jan musi walo — by leko soko Wijapipapa
  • kama suwi li jo e tenpo (18 letters) — by jan Jakopo[9]
  • waso tu mi li ken pimeja (19 letters) — by jan Misali
  • mi kijetesantakalu powe (21 letters) — by jan Pensa[10]
  • akesi wan li moku e jan tenpo (23 letters) — by jan Jakopo[9]
  • ale li jo e kon suli pi mute wan (24 letters) — by kapesi Pake[11]
  • sina toki mute tawa kala loje pona (28 letters) — by jan Kaje[12]

Pangrams with unmerged nasal

The minimum is 19 due to n needing to appear at the start too.

  • jo weka pu li nimi tonsi — by akesi kon Nalasuni (ma pona)
  • kiwen pimeja tu li suno — by oAsAo (ma pona)
  • jan kala li pona mute e waso (22 letters) — by jan Jakopo (website)
  • jan li pana e moku tawa sina (22 letters) — by jan Jakopo (website)
  • tenpo kama la, sina wile jo e tu (24 letters) — by jan Jakopo (website)
  • sina toki mute tawa kala loje pona (28 letters) — by jan Kaje (ma pona)
  • kijetesantakalu pona li mu wawa (29 letters) — by jan Pensa (ma pona)
  • nimi suwi ni li jo e sitelen ale li ike ala (33 letters) — by kili Tesa(?) (ma pona)

Syllable pangrams

  This section needs work. If you know about this topic, you can help us by editing it. (See all)

A syllable pangram is a sentence using every syllable at least once. Because some syllables are never featured in Toki Pona words, it would be required to either use names, to reduce the syllables to only the ones that are found in Toki Pona words, or to use very obscure nimi sin.

Other

  • akesi en ilo jelo kasi li musi ni olin pona sin tawa utala waso — by waso pimeja pi kulupu kasi (ma pona; sp rendition); has a word starting with each sound, made for demonstrating sitelen pona cartouches
  • The reduced alphabet with 6 letters shared by sitelen musi and linja pi kute mute has a minimum pangram length of 6 letters plus one whitespace, with 28 possible 2-word-combinations with pu words.
  • taso soweli kin li weka la sina en mi o sona e wawa pi tawa ona a sama lipu lon tenpo ale tan wile kepeken pali tawa awen — by jan Ke Tami (ma pona, public-domain); has every particle
