The language’s creator, linguist Sonja Lang, constructed the language with minimalism in mind: the original Toki Pona Book published in 2014 (Toki Pona: the Language of Good) lists only 120 words. Toki Pona has also been created with an inherent “cuteness” and positivity to it; fittingly, the name of the language simply means “good language”, in Toki Pona. In this image I’ve included the Tok Pisin word that each Toki Pona word comes from, as well as the source of each Tok Pisin word.
