External Links and Trivia

According to the Wikipedia page, Lojban:

  • is designed to express complex logical constructs precisely.
  • has no irregularities or ambiguities in spelling and grammar (although word derivation relies on arbitrary variant forms). This gives rise to high intelligibility for computer parsing.
  • is designed to be as culturally neutral as possible.
  • allows highly systematic learning and use, compared to most natural languages.
  • possesses an intricate system of indicators which effectively communicate contextual attitude or emotions.

From the community's wiki, Lojban is described as:

  • a linguistic curiosity - a test-bed for language experimentation
  • a challenging way to expand their minds or discipline their thoughts
  • a new perspective on languages
  • an entertaining medium to communicate with friends or create art
  • a domain for exploring the intersection of human language and software

More funny, however, is that the Lojban word for the number forty-two (42) is vore. No, seriously.
