| | Lojban - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Lojban (IPA [ˈloʒban], official full name Lojban: a realization of Loglan) is a constructed language which was created by the Logical Language Group in 1987 based on the earlier Loglan, with the intent to make the language more complete, usable, and freely available. | | | Researchers in the natural language processing field of artificial intelligence often get bogged down in aspects of natural language which are not directly relevant to their research, for example syntactic ambiguity and word sense disambiguation. | | | The grammar of Lojban is defined mostly in the language definition formalism YACC, with a few formal "pre-processing" rules. |

| | Lojban is designed to be used by people in communication with each other, and possibly in the future with computers. | | | Lojban is a carefully constructed spoken language designed in the hope of removing a large portion of the ambiguity from human communication. | | | Lojban grammar is based on the principles of logic. |

| | 5. Using Tengwar with Lojban — 42 |
| | Although the special Lojban word "fa'o" is not usually used for human communications (it was invented to be used as a sign for computer parsers to actually stop the parsing), it has already been used in its negated form ("fa'onai") to indicate the intermediate "break" between parts of an episodic story. | | | The Latin alphabet was initially chosen for Lojban for convenience issues, and because it was well-suited for computer use. | | | Proper use of digit tengwar is described here, and you might possibly notice how useful is the presence of duodecimal numberig where it can be used in many places in Lojban (for times, as main example). |

| | Lojban and the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis |
| | Lojban is an artificial language, the major accomplishment of a 35-year research project into the nature of human language. | | | While it is no longer the sole reason for Lojban's development, the Sapir-Worf hypothesis remains an essential underlying concept behind its design. | | | Brown's language incorporated the well-understood concepts and structures of symbolic logic into its structure, and attempted to avoid ambiguities that could confuse those well-formed structures. |

| | Myths about Lojban |
| | It is said that the Lojban community is overcrowded with computer freaks, programmers, science fiction authors and fans. | | | Although Loglan is related to Lojban (it can be considered "ancestral" to it), they have now become mutually unintelligible. | | | I would rate Lojban as one of the more difficult among constructed languages, but much easier than most natural languages. |

| | Lojban Language |
| | Also, lojban was specifically designed to have a precise logical sub-language specifically to see if learning it (lojban) changed the user's thought patterns. | | | Simply, Lojban is a tiny, free, living language, where LogLan is a tiny, proprietary, dead* language. | | | The point is that Lojban defines a long array of words with very precise semantics, and being a programmer, I appreciate precise semantics -- especially when related to code. |

| | Re: lojban, lip reading and cmavo |
| | One is that too many strings of Lojban words have some grammatical meaning - leave out some cmavo, and it just changes the grammar rather than becomes an "error" that one can recognize and intuitively correct. | | | To claim that a lip-reader cannot read Lojban vowels effectively says that it is impossible to read any language that has 5 or more vowels, because it is impossible to have 5 that are more distinct in position. | | | The other problem is that even solving cmavo, you need only look at lujvo to see that the problem is truly intractable. |

| | Lojban was not designed primarily to be an international language, however, but rather as a linguistic tool for studying and understanding language. | | | Lojban is only secondarily a 'word order' language at all. | | | Its linguistic and computer applications make Lojban unique among proposed international languages: Lojban can be successful without immediately being accepted and adopted everywhere, and Lojban can be useful and interesting even to those skeptical of or hostile towards the international language movement. |

| | Lojban itself came out of an earlier language project called Loglan, and it shares Loglan's interest in the "Sapir-Whorf hypothesis" - the idea that the language you speak affects the way you think. | | | The important point is that Lojban has a lot of what we would call "grammar", but nearly all of this is contained in the cmavo (structure words), and you can use as many or as few of them as you want. | | | The root words (gismu in Lojban) were created by a computer from words in the six most widely-spoken languages in the world: Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, English, Spanish, Arabic and Russian. |

| | Unfortunately, this is ambiguous with the full-letter use; the grapheme `i' could signify either i-after-lexeme break or /ii/ depending on whether one were using full-writing or tehtar vowels. | | | Orthographically, this might seem to create a problem for use of tehtar; you can't superimpose vowel tehtar on the halla, so the vowels on either side must be full-written. | | | Confusion with the schwa under-dot might be a problem if schwa ever occurred as a final sound, but it doesn't in Lojban. |
