toki pona
I saw someone make a post about this before. Although, I don't remember who made it. If your wondering, I have attempted this before. In 2022, I requested to add toki pona (uncapitalized intentionally) to Scratch using Transifex. How ever, nothing has come of it since. I want to know if anyone else knows or has tried this before.
edit: I found the other post I mentioned. It is https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/discuss/topic/432490.
edit 2: toki pona (uncapitalized intentionally) has an ISO code. It is “tok” For this reason, Wikipedia is in the process of adding toki pona back. Wikipedia used to have toki pona but they removed it for lack of an ISO code. So if Wikipedia can(/will probably soon) have toki pona, why can't scratch.

It would be cool to have toki pona in Scratch. But frankly, I don't think it would be possible. I can translate the top bar for you though
ilo sona Sakaratah | pali | lukin | pilin | alasa sona | alasa | sona sin | mi ijo
ilo sona Sakaratah | pali | lukin | pilin | alasa sona | alasa | sona sin | mi ijo

It's not exactly known. Most estimates are from 3,000-5,000. How many speakers that speak the language?

Personally, I would say more like this:
ilo Sa | pali | lukin | wile sona | sona pi lipu ni | sona sin | ijo mi
Remember, adjectives come after nouns, not before. So “ijo mi” not “mi ijo.”

I feel like this isn't necessary due to the fact that it's a conlang and only supposed to test the limits of language minimalism. And it's not very useful if it only has 3K-5K speakers, considering that most of them don't use Scratch.
