UniquenessToki Pona is a cute, pidgin-like language that naturally reduces ideas to their most simple and universal meanings. The entire language has only 14 sounds and 118 words. Though not able to discuss topics such as politics or rocket science without some loss of meaning, Toki Pona functions extremely well as a conversational and thought-provoking tool.
Language SourcesEnglish, Tok Pisin, Finnish, Georgian, Dutch, Acadian French, Esperanto, Croatian, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese)
