The language emerged in 2020 as a response to previous projects, namely Chuff's Toki Pona Sign Language (2013) and {{tp|toki pona luka}} (2014). The language was inspired by these and natural sign languages, such as {{w|American Sign Language}} (ASL), {{w|British Sign Language}} (BSL), {{w|International Sign}} (IS), {{w|Plains Indian Sign Language}} (PISL), {{w|Arabic Sign Language}} (ArSL), and others.<ref>{{cite YouTube|id=Wtyf1hEpO8c|title=The Sign Languages of Toki Pona (BSL) (English CC) and LPSL Demonstration (LPSL-TP CC)|author={{tok|jan Olipija}}; {{tok|jan Lakuse}}; {{tok|jan Tepo}}|date=2022-08-07|channel=tbodt|handle=tbodt|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240513135254/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtyf1hEpO8c|archive-date=2024-05-13|url-status=live|access-date=2024-05-13}}</ref>

In {{w|virtual reality}}, where there is also a community of {{tp|luka pona}} speakers, different handshapes are used to accomodate the technical limitations. Most controllers have a limited number of handshapes available, as such substitutions are made, similarly to how other sign languages adapt to VR.<ref>{{cite YouTube|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIIgy8M9od0|title=Using ASL in Virtual Reality (VRChat)|author=Jenny0629|channel=Helping Hands|handle=helpinghands3286|date=2020-05-04|access-date=2024-01-29}}</ref>

For short sentences, this sign may be omitted with little ambiguity. For instance, TOKI PONA may be interpreted either as {{tp|toki pona}} or {{tp|toki li pona}}.<ref name="lakuse2023">{{cite web|url=https://seka.pona.la/w/ve8tx8r8E8bRHyLCRhRkY5|title={{tok|sona open pi luka pona}}|website={{tok|ma Seka}}|author={{tok|jan Lakuse}}|username=jan_lakuse@seka.pona.la|date=2023-08-05|access-date=2023-12-16}}</ref> In this case, NI is used to disambiguate the meaning.

Words which lack have signs, such as {{tp|jasima}} and {{tp|[[eliki]]}}, are fingerspelled instead. When a given word or name is spelled frequently, its spelling may become faster and more relaxed over time, and might not include all the letters in the original, to the point of making the spelling unreadable to those not familiar with the word.<ref>{{cite Discord|url=https://discord.com/channels/301377942062366741/1136414293638795305/1160109073182752799|name={{tok|jan Tepo}}|username=tbodt|thread={{tok|eliki li seme tawa sina?}}|channel={{tok|toki-suli}}|server={{tp|ma pona pi toki pona}}}}</ref> In sign language linguistics, this phenomenon is known as {{w|Lexicalization#In sign languages|lexicalization}} (not to be confused with [[lexicalization]] in the context of Toki Pona).▼
