Hi! I'm Stick.
This thread (I used "structure") is for toki pona.
Right now, I am not very good at speaking toki pona. But, I like toki pona.
if y'all want, y'all can speak using other conlangs here. But, this thread was made for toki pona.
I learned toki pona using jan Misali's 12 days of sona pi toki pona*. 

if you don't speak using English in your post, please provide an English translation.

Ooh I’d love to learn toki pona!

I first heard about it from conlang critic (not a surprise seen as that’s where most conlang ears learn about other conlangs) but I’ve been busy learning Russian and a bit of Latin. I’ve also attempted to make a syllabary for Russian, which was never finished because its a bad idea.
 

what if we (as 17th shard) made a collaborative conlang? Or maybe a conlang for one of the canon cosmere languages?

I am currently learning it...

Ooh, I would be up for this. I've done some conlanging- mostly collaborative and maybe not the best but I would be willing to help.

 

Here's a little sample of Qugexngkad, a collaborative conlanging/worldbuilding thing I made last year during a competition thing. Never got much farther than this, but I still like how it looks.

Qugexg khazesudv yghkyæraghv ghauk ngyqaddur gho khxungydakh khasudur, gwæn Qugexdv zu khazesu khægkæ.

"Qugex's people must either blind the Others or graft them into Qugex Himself, else Qugex makes all mankind wither."

As for toki pona, can't say I've ever really engaged with it.

It's interesting! I don't actually know much about conlangs, but it's cool.

also, I can see your name on the doc from your email's name. maybe it would be good to make a copy and give that copy to another email account. you should give us the copy and not the original.
