    • Name Translations

    Proper nouns in toki pona are kind of weird. Normally there's no capitalization in toki pona, but names get capitalized just so you know they're not regular words. Also, whenever you have a name, you need to put a noun in front of it so you know what type of thing the name is referring to. For example, the French language is "toki Kanse", so you don't confuse it with France the country ("ma Kanse"), or French people ("kulupu Kanse"). Sonja Lang, the creator of toki pona, is called "jan Sonja".

    Oh, and names also have to be transliterated into toki pona. This part is easy though, you can check out all the spelling and pronounciation rules here. And if you need to know the name of a specific country or language in toki pona, you can check that out here.

    Classes & Aspects

    Note: The class titles are too vague and fancy-sounding to be translated directly, so I tried to describe them based on what it is they do, and whether they are active or passive. I also tried to make each aspect one word long, so it could go together nicely with its class name, and also so it could be represented with one symbol on a god tier outfit.

    Lands / Planets

    Note: These use the archaic "pi X en Y" style of Toki Pona, which I figured would fit well. Also, the noble gas names in the Alpha kids' lands are based off of this Reddit post.
