| h English (en) | '''''Nineteen Eighty-Four''''' or '''''1984''''' is a dystopian novel by {{w|George Orwell}}. In the book, a totalitarian surveillance superstate (Oceania) enforces '''{{w|Newspeak}}''', a simplified controlled language with a limited vocabulary, to suppress free and critical thinking. Hasty comparisons to ''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' are very common,<ref group="lower-alpha">In general, but also about Toki Pona specifically.</ref> to the point that {{a category|owe}} {{tp|[[Special:MyLanguage/nimi sin|nimi sin]]}}, '''{{tp|owe}}''' ("Orwellian"), has been coined to [[Special:MyLanguage/Joke words|joke]] about it. Whether Newspeak portrays government propaganda realistically in the first place is debatable. The {{w|Linguistic determinism|strong}} [[Special:MyLanguage/Sapir–Whorf hypothesis|Sapir–Whorf hypothesis]] is generally discredited, and [[Special:MyLanguage/Toki Pona|Toki Pona]] calls into question whether a language can be used to constrain expression. |
