After extensive community consultations, these are the names of languages and countries I can endorse in the Toki Pona language for the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) project of the Unicode Consortium this year. More to come in 2026 inshallah. #tokipona

Typing this made me realize "welcome" is a portmanteau of "well" and "come" similar to how "farewell" is "fare well" :o

My favorite quirk in toki pona is to flip "o X pona!" greetings into "X o pona [tawa sina]!"
o kama pona = come well!
kama sina o pona tawa sina = may your arrival be good for you!
o kama pona = come well!
kama sina o pona tawa sina = may your arrival be good for you!

I wonder if it's because of the OTF format? I just checked a text file and it's notably missing the character extensions on lon, pi, tawa, etc.

Update: after a full hour of trying to fix it and failing, I have given up. Hopefully it automagically fixes itself in the next update >:(

lo/n is two morae long so I like to pronounce them separately when convenient :^) Japanese songs do this too, so sometimes you'll hear "konna" as two syllables, and sometimes as three!

It would certainly be interesting to a certain kind of nerd as well—I've always told myself that if I ever made a conlang, I would make sure to slip in some weird irregulars because I love chaos :^)

And in the toki pona learning communities I've been in, they tend to correct them when they do so, so I think it's more commonly not used. Could be wrong though! I'm not in too many toki pona communities :')

mi lukin e kepeken mute pi toki pona li kama sona e ni: jan mute li kepeken ala nimi "e" lon pini pi nimi "kepeken" :p
Based on my observation of toki pona usage, most people don't use "e" after "kepeken". Of course it's never zero, but those that do tack an "e" afterwards are usually new learners.
