'''''{{tp|sitelen sitelen''}}''' (also known as '''''{{tp|sitelen suwi''}}''') is a logographic writing system for ''toki[[Toki pona''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}}, thealongside other being ''{{tp|[[sitelen pona]]''}}. The overall style of ''{{tp|sitelen sitelen''}} was inspired by USUnited States west-coast [[:w:comix{{wp|comix]]}} and east-coast [[:w:grafitti{{wp|grafitti]]graffiti}}, while the word shapes themselves are often taken from hieroglyphs or religious symbols.<ref>https://jonathangabel.com/toki-pona/acknowledgements/</ref>

''{{tp|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|particlesparticle]]s wrap around their contents, similarly to ''{{tp|sitelen pona}}''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s cartouches.

''{{tp|sitelen sitelen''}} includes an alphasyllabary that is used to write [[name]]s. It is also used for the words {{tp|[[pu]]}} and {{tp|[[ku]]}}, which lack their own word glyphs.

In 2012, Gabel created a contract written in ''{{tp|sitelen sitelen''}}, describing the sale of itself for $100 USD to ''{{tok|jan Mato''}}.<ref>https://jonathangabel.com/2012/lipu-lawa-pi-esun-kama/</ref>
