Toki Pona is a very fun language that contains only about 123 words. I first learned about Toki Pona from /r/minimalism on Reddit.com. Toki Pona is so much fun to speak because it encourages the speaker to change each idea they would like to communicate into a very simple form. Speaking in Toki Pona is almost like trying to solve a contextual puzzle. The benefit to learning to use Toki Pona is not really for communication, as the community is still quite small albeit growing. The benefit I have found is the joy in discovering different ways of communicating each idea. Sometimes you will be very specific and detailed, chaining words together to adequately communicate what you are thinking. Though the magic happens when you realize you only needed 5 words, and could have let context fill in the blanks.
