Read in English using the Latin Script
Thesis: Everyone who makes content in sitelen pona and publishes it to the web should provide sitelen Lasina transcriptions for their sitelen pona work.
The Rationale
There are lots of reasons to do this.
For one example, in some browsers, nasin nanpa characters (as well as any SP characters rendered from a font that has ligatures on) are cut off at text wrapping.
Additionally,
Technical considerations
- Sometimes other bugs like this happen, because developers aren't usually making their software with sitelen pona in mind.
- Sometimes, if you ever need to switch or update the font used, font conventions used in one sitelen pona font do not work in another sitelen pona font.
- Sometimes fonts don't load, or are blocked by certain firewalls.
Usability considerations
- Sometimes people can't read sitelen pona and have no interest learning.
- Sometimes people who read sitelen pona can read sitelen Lasina faster and are short on time.
- Sometimes people who are learning sitelen pona benefit from being able to compare the two texts side by side.
Accessibility considerations
- Sometimes people who are Blind or low-vision rely on screen readers outputting in non-visual formats like synthesized speech or Braille. The output can be potentially mangled by sitelen pona conventions.
- Sometimes people people who have dyslexia or ADHD, or a developmental disability may want to use text-to-speech, but nearly all TTS options for toki pona don't take into account sitelen pona conventions.
Sharing considerations
- Sometimes people want to copy and paste content, sharing it somewhere else, but the environment it is pasted into may not have sitelen pona support, especially if it was initially rendered into UCSUR.
- Sometimes members of the poki Lapo team want to preserve your work in plain text.
Design Philosophy
I view usage of Sitelen Pona on the web within the philosophy of progressive enhancement: There is no way of knowing who is reading our content, how they are reading our content, and what device and settings they are using to read our content. In this uncertainty, we must strive to provide a baseline of essential content and functionality to as many users as possible.
The constructed language, Toki Pona, is the baseline and common resource of all members of the Toki Pona community.
The constructed writing system, Sitelen Pona, is beautiful and it continues to become more and more unique and valuable, as fonts support more and more features like combination glyphs, extended glyphs, small glyphs, alternate glyphs, and bespoke punctuation.
This beautiful treasure of the Toki Pona community has the potential to prevent people who find themselves in any of the situations above from being able to fully enjoy the Toki Pona content.
Conclusion
So when it's technically feasible, provide sitelen Lasina alternatives to your Sitelen Pona content. In doing so, you help Sitelen Pona to remain Pona, and contribute to a culture of inclusion within the Toki Pona community.
