Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Toki pona FAQ, published by dkl9 on March 19, 2024 on LessWrong. Whenever I start telling someone about toki pona, they ask at least some of these questions. So I compile the questions and my answers here. Toki pona is a constructed language notable for having under 200 words. The strange writing that probably prompted you to ask me about it is sitelen pona. How do you say anything with so few words? You refer to most things with multi-word phrases, where some words act as adjectives or adverbs. Toki pona Idiomatic English Literal English ilo toki phone speech tool mi mute we/us many I/me nimi mama surname ancestral name nasa sewi miracle divine oddity sona nanpa maths number knowledge Once you know all the words of toki pona, you can combine them to express anything, tho an accurate phrasing can get long. Did you make it up? Sonja Lang made it up in 2001. Is it just a rearrangement of English? Toki pona has a grammar of its own, which is similar to English, but also about as similar to Mandarin Chinese. Individual words in toki pona are vague compared to English, precluding trivial translation. Does anyone actually use it? Obviously I do, and enthusiastically so. Some ten thousand other people do, too, but they are spread around the world, and gather on the internet, rather than in any particular country. That's so stupid. Sure, but it works! Why do you use it? Mostly sith it makes for a very efficient shorthand. The minimal vocabulary also makes it opportune as an amusing mental exercise, and as a source of examples whenever I need a foreign language - it's my first fluent L2 language. How does that writing system work? Under sitelen pona, you write each word (in the order they'd be spoken) with a single logogram, and add punctuation like in English as you see fit. There are two main exceptions. You write the word "pi" with two strokes, joined like an L, surrounding the words it groups from the bottom left. You write proper adjectives (which toki pona uses instead of proper nouns) with logograms used phonemically in a box, or (in my idiolect) in their source language's script, marked with a vinculum above.

Sonja Lang is a recent breast cancer survivor, mother to a beautiful 3 year old daughter, Penni. Sonja and I discuss how writing helped us both through difficult times. Sonja describes keeping her writing honest and open, writing like nobody was reading. Sonja turned to Caringbridge to keep friends and family posted on her cancer journey. Sonja recalls how care packages helped her through tough times and she jumped right into helping other survivors. She created care packages for those in active treatment called SonjasSaviors (link below). If you would like to request or sponsor a care package, Sonja is very motivated to share her love and experience with others!https://sonjassaviors.org/

There’s a language which is said to be the smallest language in the world. It has around 123 words, five vowels, nine consonants, and apparently you can become fluent in it with around 30 hours’ study. It was invented by linguist Sonja Lang in 2001, and it’s called Toki Pona. And fellow Radiotopian Nate DiMeo, from the Memory Palace, decided we should learn it together. Find the Memory Palace at http://thememorypalace.us/.

Sonja Lang has created the world's smallest functional language. Her creation, Toki Pona, contains only 123 total words, and holds simplicity as its highest ideal. Jeff is enamored by language and charmed by the idea of designing one from scratch to fulfill a specific aesthetic, while Anthony is frustrated by the lack of nuance and potential for confusion. Together, they attempt to communicate what makes for great communication. We Have Concerns is entirely listener supported!
