Toki Pona

2

Toki Pona is a minimalistic constructed language with only 123 words, 14 sounds/letters and 10 grammar rules.

- no consonant clusters, no diphthongs nor triphthongs, no tones
- no morphology : no declinations nor conjugations, no plurals, no diminuitives, no adverb formation
- no articles, no gender

Complex ideas are represented by combining the root words, e.g. bicycle : sike tu .

[sike = round; circle; wheel; ball ; tu = two; both; cut in two]
