About Toki Pona
Toki Pona is a human language I invented in 2001. It was my attempt to understand the meaning of life in 120 words. There are now thousands of speakers and about 120 to 140 words, depending on the speaker or metric used. In 2022, ISO 639-3 adopted the code "tok" for Toki Pona, which it categorized as a world language. Toki Pona is among the most popular conlangs online. In 2024, University of Colorado Boulder invited me to give a talk entitled From Personal Art Project to Small World Language. Read comparisons to Esperanto and common misconceptions.
