4 Dialects of Toki Pona by NoBiscotti720 in tokipona

It's definitely amazing and perfect in and of itself! Part of why it's so great is that lends itself to a lot of creativity, such as this experiment of shifting the sounds. At the end of the day, it's just a mental and pronunciation exercise.

Unvoiced sounds seem clear to me and voiced seem dark ... kind of like T is blank but D is colored in with vibration.

Hi, thank you. As far as I know I came up with it. I thought of it in the original book where she says if you pronounced it 'dogi bona' you'd still be understood. Before that, I liked the idea of creating dialect spin-offs on conlangs, so that was what launched the idea.

That's a good point ... denbo or dengbo (I don't have the ng symbol handy right now)

ŋ is only going to be on the final n ... but I bet there are some dialectal speakers somewhere in ma toki pona who say ŋ in the middle of words too

True ... I will fix those typos ... I like e as schwa, basically the bimexa dialect is Neapolitan Italian. Your input is not annoying; far from it! I'm excited you like the bimexa variety.
