About
ta lo ne as it is presented on this website was created in a few hours' time. However, the idea of a very small, concise, but meaningful constructed language had been brewing for years in its creator Brian's mind ever since he became interested in linguistics, conlangs, and all of that good stuff.
Finally, after much contemplation and trials, Brian put together ta lo ne's vocabulary and the grammar and syntax kind of just fell into place. Brian would like to thank the following people for inspiration:
Finally, after much contemplation and trials, Brian put together ta lo ne's vocabulary and the grammar and syntax kind of just fell into place. Brian would like to thank the following people for inspiration:
- Sonja Elen Kisa for creating the more well-known toki pona (here), and for ideas and wisdom
- Arpee, aka arpee9216 (on YouTube), for ideas from bon wen (here), puna (here), and pulu (here)
- "Pafu", creator of Esata (here), for the idea of monosyllabic words for concise understanding
- All the other conlangers and people on the Internet, especially on the toki pona (janKipo, janKuti...)
- My family and friends for listening to all my blabbing about languages
