That metaphorical process is at the heart of Toki Pona, the world's smallest language. While the Oxford English Dictionary contains a quarter of a million entries, and even Koko the gorilla communicates with over 1,000 gestures in American Sign Language, the total vocabulary of Toki Pona is a mere 123 words.

Wow, that is so interesting, it is crazy to think that someone can communicate with only 123 words, I myself have already spoken a thousand today.

I've always wanted to learn a second language but always get lazy and quit after a day or 2 of trying. I've even tried and failed at Toki Pona, a true lazy man's language. Why am I this way...
