User:ItMarki/Chemical nomenclature in Toki Pona
Preface
This is an attempt to establish a system of inorganic and organic chemical nomenclature in Toki Pona. It is written to test how good Toki Pona is at naming scientific (specifically chemical) concepts using as few neologisms as possible.
To aid reading, Toki Pona text or text meant to be written in Toki Pona will be marked in a template, such as toki pona li lon lipu ni. The reader may set a custom CSS syntax for the language code if italics text is insufficient.
Standard examples are shown in green, while nonstandard examples are shown in red and acceptable but not favored examples are shown in gray. All occurences of nimisins (Toki Pona neologisms, see nimisins) used in this document are shown in blue and are linked to their definitions in nimisins.
The names of all chemical elements and compounds will follow the IUPAC standard unless otherwise stated. The reader is reminded that this nomenclature set out in this page is not the only option, and that lexicalization is discouraged. However, should any consistency errors appear in this document, please inform me.
