its more directly inspired by "pidgin" languages that evolve naturally when people do business without an initial common language. it's also a little bit like simple english / thing explainer, but not based on english (mostly).

I didn't know about Toki pona, but if the purpose is to be minimalist, why there is redundancy with two character with the same pronunciation ?
Ua = W

W is a consonant, Voiced labial–velar approximant. U (Close back rounded) and A (Open front unrounded) are vowels. Combining those two vowels does not inherently produce any consonant.

How to impress someone in toki pona: mi pali kepeken ma tomo Aci.

footnote

It's a translation of: I use Arch btw

I used https://musely.ai/tools/toki-pona-translator

I have no idea if it's correct.
