Practicality: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

As [[Toki Pona]] is a {{w|Philosophical language|philosophical}} {{w|artistic language}}~~, there are differing thoughts on how '''practical''' it is for real-world use~~. This extends to whether lack of fitness for various use cases would be a shortcoming of Toki Pona, thus devaluing it, or simply outside of its design goals.

The '''practicality''' of Toki Pona for real-world use is debated, as it is a {{w|Philosophical language|philosophical}} {{w|artistic language}}. This extends to whether lack of fitness for various use cases would be a shortcoming of Toki Pona, thus devaluing it, or simply outside of its design goals.

Often, when people are introduced to the language, they voice concerns about Toki Pona being used in {{w|emergencies}}, or otherwise precise, risky, or jargon-heavy situations such as {{w|medical examination}}s. Suffice it to say that a niche hobby {{w|~~conlang~~}} is not being used in such applications, and most [[Tokiponist]]s are not promoting it for such usage.

Often, when people are introduced to the language, they voice concerns about Toki Pona being used in {{w|emergencies}}, or otherwise precise, risky, or jargon-heavy situations such as {{w|medical examination}}s. Suffice it to say that a niche hobby {{w|constructed language}} is not being used in such applications, and most [[Tokiponist]]s are not promoting it for such usage.

These concerns may stem from the assumption that Toki Pona has the same {{w|Finvenkism|goals of global adoption}} as the {{w|Esperanto movement}}; in reality, Toki Pona is not an [[international auxiliary language]], and many Tokiponists are against treating it as such.
