Ike, natively tōkı̣ ı̰ke̱ /to˦ki˧ i˦˥˨ke˨/, is a Trician language with minimalistic consonants, vowels and phonotactics but with 10 tones. It is a parody of Toki Pona.

Phonology

Tone

Toki Ike morae have 10 possible tones: /˥ ˦ ˧ ˨ ˩ ˧˩ ˦˥˨ ˦˥˦ ˧˥ ˩˧/, romanized ⟨ā̄ ā a a̱ a̱̱ a̖ a̰ ȧ á a̗⟩. Only /˧ ˨/ tones may occur on non-word-initial morae.
