	Minimalism in languages - Fox @ Fury
		By virtue of Toki Pona's extremely small vocabulary, and order-independent syntax, the language is good at talking about feelings and simple relationships, but not about the finer points of politics or silicon-on-insulator microchip fabrication techniques.
		Bad himself admits that he has onl had Toki Pona conversations in email and instant message conversations which, sadly, rips away the simplicity latent on the very phonemes and the way the mouth moves to pronounce them.
		Toki Pona strives to shape emotion by carving away parts of a language that breed stress, while K tries to distill languages down to core atomic components so that more complex questions can be answered with less chaff.

	Toki Pona reviewed
		However, the language as it is currently described on Kisa's web site (www.kisa.ca/tokipona) does have a few, um, "features" that may make it unsuitable for Kisa's posited "race of little cartoon creatures speaking in Toki Pona." Justin B. Rye, perhaps best known for his attack on Esperanto, has pointed out some other issues.
		Toki Pona is a pidgin of English, Tok Pisin, Finnish, Georgian, Dutch, Acadian French, Esperanto, Croatian, Mandarin Chinese, and Cantonese elements, highly modified to fit a minimal phonology.
		While (like any pidgin) Toki Pona may be useful to an extent as an auxiliary language, its somewhat European-inspired lexicon, including lots of English, Acadian French, Dutch, and Esperanto, keeps it from being used directly as a language that's supposed to be unfamiliar to English speakers.

	Bambooweb: The
		Some languages such as Chinese, classical Latin, and the constructed language Toki Pona rarely use articles, indicating such distinctions in other ways or not at all.
		Some languages, including Japanese and Russian do not have them at all (in Russian, if it is absolutely necessary, you can use "one" and "that" in contexts where other languages would use an indefinite and definite article).
		In the etymologies of many languages, definite articles formerly were demonstrative pronouns or adjective; compare the fate of the Latin demonstrative ille in the Romance languages, becoming French le, la and les, Spanish el and la, and Italian il and la.

	The Old New Thing : German, the language of love? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		My pet peeve with the german language are these fourty trillion different conjugations of a single verb and their special inflections, and their other grammatical BS like Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv, and so on.
		Russian (which is my native language) seems to be some kind of exception, since it has a large, very unambiguous vocabulary (if i remember correctly it's larger then German), and a fairly extensive grammar, though i certainly can't put it into any relation since it's my one and only native language.
		And one language or even culture is as long not pompular as you fall in love with someone who is from that region.
