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...

QFT. Chinese needs complex characters. Toki Pona is minimalist and simple- stealing kanji would be a step backwards IMHO.

Re: meli pi toki pona li lon ma seme?

Ooooo! I love the thought of a language for cooking, where a grammatical error would result in a spoiled dinner. I doubt this would work functionally as a language; but maybe as some sort of cypher. The usual problem with SWH is that it looks to language to somehow determine culture, when the influ...
