jan Lentan wrote a list of recommended websites in April 2020–May 2021. The community has changed significantly since then, so most of them are not currently relevant to show on the front page, and required a complete rewrite. However I felt like it would be best to keep the list intact for as a piece of community legacy from that era, for those who like that kind of stuff.

Software

Here are links to some software that I personally found useful:

• “ding” dictionary tool is a simple-looking and easy to use dictionary tool that, by default, comes bundled with German-to-English dictionaries, but toki pona-to-English files for it are also available on this page.

• toki pona keyboard for Android phones. Supports both Latin (with some sitelen pona font features) and sitelen emoji. (WIP)

• ilo pi sitelen pona: a web-based tool that converts Latin-based toki pona into UCSUR-compatible sitelen pona.

Other courses online

• Jonathan Gabel’s lessons teach both toki pona as a language and “sitelen sitelen”, a rather ornamental-looking (if uncommon in general usage) writing system for toki pona.
