Wiktionary

  1. Lojbanadjective

    Of or relating to Lojban.

  2. Lojbannoun

    An artificial language designed to be logical, based on the earlier Loglan.

    It might make more aesthetic sense to display and read Lojban text in monospaced fonts, since, for example, the length of gismu is always five letters, and the length of non-trivial rafsi is always three letters. Then the monospaced letters may be reminiscent of the tesserae which compose an abstract mosaic.

Wikipedia

  1. Lojban

    Lojban (pronounced [ˈloʒban] (listen)) is a logical, constructed, human language created by the Logical Language Group which aims to be syntactically unambigious. It succeeds the Loglan project. The Logical Language Group (LLG) began developing Lojban in 1987. The LLG sought to realize Loglan's purposes and further improve the language by making it more usable and freely available (as indicated by its official full English title, Lojban: A Realization of Loglan). After a long initial period of debating and testing, the baseline was completed in 1997 and published as The Complete Lojban Language. In an interview in 2010 with The New York Times, Arika Okrent, the author of In the Land of Invented Languages, stated, "The constructed language with the most complete grammar is probably Lojban—a language created to reflect the principles of logic."Lojban is proposed as a speakable language for communication between people of different language backgrounds, as a potential means of machine translation, and as a tool to explore the intersection between human language and software.

  1. Lojban

    Lojban is a constructed, syntactically unambiguous human language based on predicate logic, succeeding the project of Loglan. The name "Lojban" is a portmanteau of loj and ban, which are short forms of logji and bangu, respectively. Development of the language began in 1987 by The Logical Language Group, who intended to realize Loglan's purposes as well as further complement the language by making it more usable, and freely available. After a long initial period of debating and testing, the baseline was completed in 1998 with the publication of The Complete Lojban Language. In an interview in 2010 with the New York Times, Arika Okrent, the author of In the Land of Invented Languages, stated: "The constructed language with the most complete grammar is probably Lojban – a language created to reflect the principles of logic." The main sources of its basic vocabulary were the six most widely spoken languages: Mandarin, English, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic, chosen to reduce the unfamiliarity or strangeness of the root words to people of diverse linguistic backgrounds. The language has drawn on other constructed languages' components, a notable instance of which is Láadan's set of indicators.
