Lusa Tonga

September 4, 2023

In the language Lusa Tonga just about everything depends on context.  As a matter of fact, most of the words in Lusa Tonga consist of a single word and most of the time that word is “Tonga”. 

For example, if you want to say “I threw the ball over there” you would say “Muya Tonga Tonga tonga Tonga tonga”.  Mercifully capitalization is optional, but preferred. 

“Muya” is the first-person all-purpose word.  It means roughly “I”, “me”, “my” and/or “mine” in English. In Lusa Tonga one could use that sentence to say just about anything about oneself, but nothing about anyone else.

To say “Why did you throw the ball over there?” you would say “Tonga Tonga Tonga Tonga tonga tonga tonga Foa” and then abruptly raise the eyebrows sharply at the end and look quickly to the left.

How the Lusa Tongani ever managed to invent the world’s fastest, smartest and cheapest computing device is a mystery to the rest of the world.

One caveat however is that it is only fast smart and cheap in the Lusa Tonga language.
