Etymology
Noun
tokiponization (countable and uncountable, plural tokiponizations)
- The process or result of tokiponizing.
- (Can we date this quote?), “"ma Awisona" is incorrect”, in lipu pi ijo pi toki pona[1]:
- I live in the U.S. state of Arizona, and most people who speak Toki Pona would tokiponize this place as "ma Awisona pi ma Mewika." However, I will maintain that this is not correct; the correct tokiponization is "ma Alisona pi ma Mewika." […] There is one very clear tokiponization for Arizona which respects the native language and is also universally understood, and that is "ma Alisona."
