About Lojban
Lojban is a constructed language in the logical language family, created for international use rather than tied to one country or ethnic region. It is spoken by a small global community, generally estimated at around one to two thousand proficient or active users. It is usually written with the Latin alphabet, using a standardized phonemic spelling designed to keep pronunciation predictable.
A distinctive feature of Lojban is its strongly regular grammar, built to reduce ambiguity and to mark grammatical relationships with little reliance on word order compared with many natural languages. It grew out of the earlier Loglan project, and the language was developed by the Logical Language Group in the late 20th century. Its vocabulary was algorithmically shaped from several widely spoken languages, including Chinese, English, Hindi, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic.
