Line 2:
In {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}, a '''radical''' is a recurring graphical component across multiple glyphs.
The radical-based analysis was invented{{
The term is taken from {{w|Radical (Chinese characters)|radicals}} of {{w|Chinese character}}s, which dictionaries use to sort words. This comparison has been disputed. While there have been attempts to group {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyphs by common features, there is no standard [[Collation of sitelen pona|collation]], and glyphs are most often sorted alphabetically by the words' {{tp|[[sitelen Lasina]]}} spellings. Radicals are more often used for shape-based [[input method]]s, comparable to {{w|Cangjie input method|Cangjie}}. In addition, not every {{tp|sitelen pona}} glyph is considered to contain a radical, and some have multiple that are considered with equal or unclear priority.
