The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Toki Pona edition), known in Toki Pona as jan Osu pi wawa nasa

(sitelen pona: jan
[o suli uta]
pi wawa nasa; lit. "The Person Named Oz of Strange Power")

is an abridged Toki Pona translation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, originally by L. Frank Baum. It was translated by Sonja Lang and illustrated by Evan Dahm. It was released on 3 February 2024.

It is the third book in the Official Toki Pona series,[1] and the first entry in the su series of illustrated story books.[2]

Oz (Toki Pona edition) is printed in the sitelen pona writing system using the nasin nanpa font, with literal English translations (initially short summaries[3]) included to help beginners.[4] It is also a requirement by the publishing partner to include one of the supported languages.[5]

Style

In addition to nimi ku suli, the word majuna, which was classified as a nimi ku lili, appears 3 times in the book.[6]

The credits page uses nasin nanpa pona to denote the copyright year.[7]

Specific to sitelen pona

Names are shortened to their first glyph after their first occurrence in a given chapter, e.g. jan [tomo olin wile alasa suwi ijo] becomes jan [tomo].[8]

A few words use different glyphs than the ones introduced in pu or ku. Some of them have two variants used for different sub-meanings: mute is written mute for "many", but mute2 for "twenty",[7] and sewi uses the religious (sewi) and secular (sewi2) forms as appropriate.[9]
