Wakalito is a keyboard layout and shape-based input method for entering Toki Pona words. It is based on the glyph components in sitelen pona rather than the Latin script. It was developed by jan Likipi, together with kala pona Tonyu and jan Tepo in 2020.[1][2]

Wakalito supports all nimi pu and nimi ku suli, as well as select nimi ku lili. It is currently available for iOS through the App Store, and for desktop operating systems (Windows 10–11, OS X, and Linux) through the open-source program Espanso.

The name Wakalito is derived from a shuffled combination of the first syllable in the creators' names: waso Likipi and kala pona Tonyu. The main symbol in its icon is a hybrid of the glyphs for their headnouns, waso (waso) and kala (kala).

Keys[edit | edit source]

There are 17 components and keys, mapped to the top-left rows of the keyboard. These can be typed using only the left hand.

Physical keyboards[edit | edit source]

Keyboard by jan Likipi

As of 6 January 2023, jan Likipi made a custom physical keyboard with an ortholinear version of the Wakalito layout, with hand-wiring by a friend. The keyboard has three additional keys: from left to right, a 1u backspace key, a 2.25u space bar, and a vertical 1×2u enter key. The sitelen pona text ilo toki pona (ilo toki-pona) is engraved in the remaining space in the lower left. jan Likipi used the keyboard while working on the Toki Pona translation of Minecraft, and described it as "more than capable for fastish typing".[4]

Supported glyphs[edit | edit source]
