Revision as of 16:50, 18 October 2023

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

The Latin script (sitelen Lasina), sitelen pona by jan Sonja, and 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 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 just for fun.

Types of writing systems

  • Abjad: Only consonants are written; the reader must infer vowels. (Impure abjads may have optional vowel diacritics or a limited number of vowel glyphs.)
  • Abugida: Each symbol is a consonant with secondary vowel notation.
  • Alphabet: Consonants and vowels are written separately. sitelen Lasina and the IPA are examples of alphabets.
  • Logography: Each symbol is a word. sitelen pona and the word glyphs of sitelen sitelen are examples of logographies.
  • Syllabary: Each symbol is a syllable or mora. The syllable glyphs of sitelen sitelen are an example of a syllabary.
