Who speaks toki pona?
JanMato | 2010
toki pona is an artificial language uses for amusement and entertainment on mailing lists, internet forums, blogs and the like. Typical users are geographically located in North America, Europe and Russia. The typical toki pona user is also fluent two or more other natural languages.
While several thousand people have heard of it or expressed casual interest in it, only a few dozen have learned it well enough to write something original and post it to the internet. I estimate that about 50 to 100 people have contributed to the public toki pna corpus (the set of all public writings in toki pona).
Unlike Esperanto, Lojban or Klingon, the toki pona does not at the moment have a significant in person community, yet.
