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 a conference in {{w|University of Colorado}}, signer {{tok|jan Lakuse}} described it as an accessibility tool. They also described it also as a "linguistic toy", similar to Toki Pona, in order to introduce and experiment with sign language in a non-harmful way to fluent signers.<ref>{{cite roundtable|p=15}}</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.
