Trivial toki pona Substitutions

toki open

There is a family of programming languages that are called "Trivial Brainf*ck Substitutions" (TBFS for short). They basically take the 8 characters used in Brainf*ck and represent them using other strings of characters. This is (somewhat) the same idea behind sitelen pona and sitelen kuwi. I would even guess that it's the same idea behind sitelen sitelen, but I don't know enough yet about sitelen sitelen to make that conclusion.

Trivial brainfuck substitution - Esolang

TrivialBrainfuckSubstitution is not a single programming language, but rather a large family of programming languages that are trivial substitutions of the brainfuck language.

TTPS

As the title says, this is my attempt at a "trivial toki pona substitution" (TTPS). Inspired from the following:

This is an English-styled TTPS that I created in 1 hour, I like to call it "sitelen ike":

Here is the same text, in sitelen ike:

FAQ

Why did you call it sitelen ike?

This script goes against the very nasin behind toki pona (IMO). So, it is "ike."

Why did you do this?

I was recently made aware of sitelen kuwi and sitelen telo. Though I really disagree with the philosphy behind sitelen telo, I really like sitelen kuwi! This really reminded me of TBFS so I tried doing the same for toki pona and ended up with that piece of text up there.

lipu sona pi sitelen Kuwi

o kama sona e sitelen Kuwi!

sitelen telo - sona pona

sitelen telo or waterscript is a writing system and font created by efofecks. It consists of a logography, linja telo, and a secondary abugida for words without...

I would like to see some TTPS made for other natural languages. To me, sitelen ike is somewhat readable.
