This is a non-exhaustive list of the '''writing systems''' created for Toki Pona.
 
The Latin script ({{tp|[[sitelen Lasina]]}}), {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} by {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}, and {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} by Jonathan Gabel are the 3three writing systems featured in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]''. They are also the best known and most widely understood. However, tinkerers often {{wpw|Constructed writing system|invent other writing systems}} for personal or aesthetic expression, {{wpw|data compression}}, compatibility with other natural-language writing systems, neographic experiments with the limited vocabulary, or just for fun.
 
==Types of writing systems==
* '''{{wpw|Abjad}}''': Only consonants are written; the reader must infer vowels. (Impure abjads may have optional vowel diacritics or a limited number of vowel glyphs.)
* '''{{wpw|Abugida}}''': Each symbol is a consonant with secondary vowel notation.
* '''{{wpw|Alphabet}}''': Consonants and vowels are written separately. {{tp|[[sitelen Lasina]]}} and the [[IPA]] are examples of alphabets.
* '''{{wpw|Logography}}''': Each symbol is a word. {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} and the word glyphs of {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} are examples of logographies.
* '''{{wpw|Syllabary}}''': Each symbol is a [[syllable]] or [[mora]]. The syllable glyphs of {{tp|sitelen sitelen}} are an example of a syllabary.
----
* '''{{wpw|Featural writing system|Featural}}''': Symbols are directly based on features of the [[phonology]].
