The Latin script ({{tp|[[sitelen Lasina]]}}), {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} by {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}}, and {{tp|[[sitelen sitelen]]}} by [[Jonathan Gabel]] 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 just for fun.

Revision as of 14:38, 2 January 2024

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.
