What do y'all think of conlangs? Anyone here know toki pona? I personally speak it, and am wondering.

I don’t know anything about this one in particular but I have some familiarity with Esperanto. I think they’re interesting academically as someone interested in languages, but I don’t see myself learning one. I just don’t see how it’s worth the time investment versus learning a language spoken natively by other humans, realistically.

I do grok this perspective, though it isn't mine. Thanks for the answer!
