Toki Pona for Socialists

24 readers

This is a Toki Pona community for socialists to chat, make art, and share their experiences with the Toki Pona constructed language!

Toki Pona is a philosophical artistic constructed language created by Sonja Lang in 2001. It is designed for talking about things by explaining them in simple terms. When the first official book released it had only 120 words, and since then has expanded to somewhere around 140 words!

As of the 2022 Toki Pona census there was around 1800+ speakers of the language. It's primarily spoken online and is considered one of the most popular conlangs (constructed languages) in the world.

Despite being a constructed language Toki Pona is a real language and is recognized by several institutions around the world!

Hello! nǐ hǎo! toki! Saluton!

I got the idea for a type of thread for language learners across Lemmygrad and Hexbear where we can chat about languages, natural or constructed! I hope that this can help reignite the language learning communities on Lemmygrad!

Here's some questions for you beloved language learners!

  • What language(s) are you learning?
  • What inspired you to begin learning the language(s) you chose?
  • Do you have a favorite word or phrase in the language you're learning?

Here are some links for language learners!

Eu sou aprendendo português. Just wanted to be unique instead of learning spanish as a second language like everyone. No favorite phrase yet, just got started:)
