This is the text in English:

Lingua Franca Nova (“Elefen”) is a language designed to be particularly simple, consistent, and easy to learn for international communications. It has a number of positive qualities:

1. It has a limited number of phonemes. It sounds similar to Italian or Spanish.

2. It is phonetically spelled. No child should have to spend years learning irregularities.

3. It has a completely regular grammar, similar to the world’s creoles.

4. It has a limited and completely regular set of productive affixes for routine word derivation.

5. It has well-defined rules for word order, in keeping with many major languages.

6. Its vocabulary is strongly rooted in modern Romance languages. These languages are themselves widespread and influential, plus they have contributed the major part of English vocabulary.

7. It is designed to be naturally accepting of Latin and Greek technical neologisms, the de facto “world standard”.

8. It is designed to seem relatively “natural” to those who are familiar with Romance languages, without being any more difficult for others to learn.

We hope you like Elefen!

Thank you.

Hi, I'm sorry to say that this would go beyond a simple revision. Starting with point 2, it seems to be talking about something completely different. So what you would need is not someone revising your text, but completely retranslating it. Hm, in case you've been using ChatGPT to do this, I should inform you that even with the improvements in version 4, which isn't available to the broad public yet, it's still at a beginner level when it comes to toki pona.

One way or another, this wiki, which is for articles that are exclusively in toki pona, wouldn't be the right venue.
