The [[Latin script]], {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}}, and {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} are the three writing systems featured in ''[[Toki Pona: The Language of Good]]''. They are also the best known and most widely understood. However, tinkerers often {{w|Constructed writing system|invent other writing systems}} for personal or aesthetic expression, {{w|data compression}}, compatibility with other natural-language writing systems, neographic experiments with the limited vocabulary, or simply for fun.

This is a non-exhaustive list of the writing systems created for Toki Pona.

The Latin script, sitelen pona, and sitelen sitelen are the three writing systems featured in Toki Pona: The Language of Good. They are also the best known and most widely understood. However, tinkerers often invent other writing systems for personal or aesthetic expression, data compression, compatibility with other natural-language writing systems, neographic experiments with the limited vocabulary, or simply for fun.

 Logography, Chinese characters Decided by a vote in the Chinese Toki Pona community on Tencent QQ. Most people primarily write Toki Pona using Latin script. 人兮出[a]予乎食向尔

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. ↑ The characters 出 and 予 have equal votes for the word pana in the first round, and are equally valid. One should be used instead of both.
