Appendix:Toki Pona
Toki Pona is a constructed language, designed by translator and polyglot Sonja Lang and first published as a draft online in August 2001.
A complete form of the language including 120 core words (known in Toki Pona as nimi pu) was published in the book Toki Pona: The Language of Good in English in 2014, which has since been translated into a number of languages. In 2021, Lang published her second book Toki Pona Dictionary including 17 new words categorized as essential based on data from one of the online Toki Pona communities. Along with the original 120 words, this set is referred to as nimi ku suli in Toki Pona. The book also included a number of other less common words, referred to as nimi ku lili.
