Where is Toki Pona used?
Where is Toki Pona practically used? What can you do with Toki Pona? This page was intended for supplementary use with the ISO-code application. Following the 2007 and 2017 rejected requests, the reason of the latter being that "Toki Pona does not appear to be used in a variety of domains nor for communication within a community which includes all ages," we hope Toki Pona will be recognized and assigned an ISO-code [tok]. As of today, the extent of the page has grown and it can thus be used as a resource of various Toki Pona related activities. Since the 20th of January 2022 Toki Pona actually got assigned the language code "tok".
