toki! This team is for all Toki Pona speakers, learners, and enthusiasts! Toki Pona is a philosophical artistic constructed language (or philosophical artlang) known for its small vocabulary. It was created by Canadian linguist and translator Sonja Lang (@SonjaLang) for the purpose of simplifying thoughts and communication. It was first published online in 2001 as a draft, and later in complete form in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good in 2014 (https://www.amazon.com/Toki-Pona-Language-Sonja-Lang/dp/0978292308).

The underlying feature of Toki Pona is minimalism. It focuses on simple universal concepts, making use of very little to express the most. The language is isolating and has around 123 root words and 14 phonemes that are easy to pronounce across different languages.
