Toki Pona - Writing System

Writing System

Kisa officially uses letters of the Latin alphabet to represent the language, with the values they represent in the IPA: p, t, k, s, m, n, l, j, w, a, e, i, o, and u. (That is, j sounds like English y, and the vowels are like those of Spanish.)

Capital letters are only used for personal and place names (see below), not for the first word of a sentence. That is, they mark foreign words, never the 123 Toki Pona roots.

Famous quotes containing the words writing and/or system:

    Often I think writing is a sheer paring away of oneself leaving always something thinner, barer, more meager.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    Delight at having understood a very abstract and obscure system leads most people to believe in the truth of what it demonstrates.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
