'''''sitelen sitelen''''' (also known as '''''sitelen suwi''''') is a logographic writing system for ''toki pona'', created by Jonathan Gabel around 2006.<ref>https://www.jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/kama-pona/</ref> It is one of the two non-Latin writing systems featured in ''[[{{pu]]''|en}}, the other being ''[[sitelen pona]]''. The overall style of ''sitelen sitelen'' was inspired by US west-coast [[:w:comix|comix]] and east-coast [[:w:grafitti|grafitti]], while the word shapes themselves are often taken from hieroglyphs or religious symbols.<ref>https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/acknowledgements/</ref>
 
''sitelen sitelen'' is non-linear in nature: instead of a straight row, words are arranged in blocks reminiscent of comic strips. [[Prepositions]] and part-of-sentence marking [[Particles|particles]] wrap around their contents, similarly to ''sitelen pona''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cartouches.
