Wikipesija:lipu pi toki Inli/Where is Toki Pona used?

mi ken lukin e ali pi toki pona kepeken seme? o pana e sona sina lon ni kepeken toki Inli:

Where is Toki Pona practically used? What can you do with Toki Pona? Add here in English. This page is for supplementary use with the ISO-code application. Following the 2007 and 2017 rejected requests, the reason of the latter being that "Toki Pona does not appear to be used in a variety of domains nor for communication within a community which includes all ages," we hope Toki Pona will be recognised and assigned an ISO-code [tok].
