'''{{tp|luka pona}}''', also known as '''LPSL''' ('''{{tp|luka pona}} sign language'''), is a constructed sign language. It is a [[tokiponido]] created by {{tok|[[jan Olipija]]}}. It is a real sign language, including classifiers and [[w:nonmanual feature|nonmanual features]] (NMFs), unlike {{tp|[[toki pona luka]]}} which is a relex of toki pona into signs.

===Handshapes===
===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.
