===Handshapes===

The {{w|handshape}} inventory consists of nine handshapes as shown below. This limited number of handshapes is helpful for those with limitations, either physical or technical~~, such as in {{w|virtual reality}}, since some controlers have a limited number of handshapes available~~. There are several allophonic variants when signing in real life, sometimes used for emotional effect.

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>
