{{Needs work|Add major information from [[Project:lipu pi toki Inli/The history of Toki Pona]]}}
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 dedicated phpBB forum.

Toki Pona continued to grow in popularity in the following years, in part with the spread of reviews and video lessons such as [[jan Misali]]'s 2015 series, ''[[12 Days of sona pi toki pona]]''. It also started to attract scientific research judging the language's performance in various applications, both therapeutic and unrelated to its original purposes.
A French translation of {{tp|lipu pu}}, titled {{lang|fr|''Toki Pona: la langue du bien''}}, was published in April 2016.
The first [[Toki Pona census]] was released in April 2021.
{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} was proposed for the [[UCSUR]] in August 2021, providing a standard for its encoding in fonts, and thus as plain text.
Later in 2021, the {{tok|[[ijo Linku]]}} dictionary project was started.
=== {{tp|tenpo ku}} ===
In July 2021, Sonja Lang compiled the descriptive ''[[Toki Pona Dictionary]]'' ({{tp|lipu ku}}), providing [//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.
A yearly celebration of Toki Pona's anniversary, {{tp|[[suno pi toki pona]]}}, began on August 2021.
Later in 2021, {{tp|lipu pu}} was translated to German as {{lang|de|''Toki Pona: Die Sprache des Guten''}} with bonus material from {{tp|lipu ku}}.▼

After rejected requests in 2008 and 2018, the [[ISO 639-3]] Registration Authority adopted the identifier <code>tok</code> for Toki Pona on January 20, 2022. The [//iso639-3.sil.org/code/tok webpage] was updated on the 28th.
{{tp|lipu pu}} was translated into Esperanto as {{lang|eo|''Tokipono: La lingvo de bono''}}, published in October 2022. The edition includes notes and words featured in {{tp|lipu ku}}, and additional Toki Pona texts.
