==History==
{{Timeline}}
▲{{Needs work|Add major information from [[History]]}}
Sonja Lang started developing Toki Pona to simplify her thoughts during periods of depression. It was also partly inspired by Taoist philosophy. She shared early versions of the language online starting in August 2001, and got feedback on words and features. The project initially gained popularity with Esperantists. Much of the early activity was on Yahoo! Groups, from March 2002 onwards, and a [[Toki Pona Forums|dedicated phpBB forum]].
===
Sonja Lang published the first official Toki Pona book, ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]'' ({{tp|lipu pu}}), in May 2014. It marked the end of her development of the language, and presented her own way of using it. The book presents Toki Pona's philosophy and is mostly dedicated to lessons, with texts and dictionaries afterward. It includes 120 main words, with 3 more presented as "[[synonym]]s". It also features two [[writing system]]s created for the language: {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} and {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}}.

Later in 2021, the {{tok|[[ijo Linku]]}} dictionary project was started.▼
In July 2021, Sonja Lang compiled the descriptive ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'' ({{tp|lipu ku}}), providing [https://tokipona.org/Sonja_Lang_-_Toki_Pona_Dictionary.pdf corrections and clarifications of {{tp|lipu pu}}] and passing the torch of the language's evolution onto the community.▼
