In 2017, he endorsed Toki Pona, citing its accessible [[Phonology|pronunciation]] and [[grammar]], and the logic of creating simple [[noun]] [[phrase]]s. {{tok|Misali}} reviewed Toki Pona as if it were an [[international auxiliary language]] (IAL) to highlight its simplicity and effective design compared to the actual IALs reviewed, whose designs he considers too complicated for international use. Their only point of criticism was the lacking [[number]] system.<ref>Halley, Mitch (jan Misali) (23 February 2017).

{{Start section|Fun}}
A comment thread on the ''Conlang Critic'' review for {{w|Ido}}, started by {{w|Esperantist}} Anthony McCarthy, has become a popular inside [[joke]] in the [[Toki Pona community]], with even {{tok|[[jan Sonja]]}} referencing it.<ref>{{cite YouTube|id=9eu0GeZW1vk|title=First Look at the New Toki Pona Book|author=|channel=Oats Jenkins|handle=OatsJenkins|date=Feb 4, 2024|access-date=2024-02-04|quote=}}<blockquote>'''[[Sonja Lang]]:''' Right now, there's a lot of attention on the {{tp|sitelen pona}} writing system because it's not yet been codified into [[Unicode]].

===Seximal===
{{tok|jan Misali}} endorses a {{w|base-6}} numeral system, specifically by the term ''seximal''. Beyond making videos on the subject, he is the author of the website seximal.net. The overlap between his audience and the Toki Pona community may have inspired seximal Toki Pona [[number system]]s.
