lipu jan pi jan Mose
It's been my observation that there is a significant overlap between conlangers, conworlders and roleplayers. I thought it would be fun to post our PCs and OCs here in Toki Pona. I'll start with a character of mine. This is the first Toki Pona text I have written and I've probably made serious mista...

Re: A range of possibilities
QFT. Chinese needs complex characters. Toki Pona is minimalist and simple- stealing kanji would be a step backwards IMHO.janKipo wrote:Simplified forms please. There are already a number of logogram suggestions a float.
