	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.
		Lojban has three parts of speech: one (called brivla) for both common nouns and verbs, one (called cmene) for proper nouns, and another (called cmavo) for structural particles: articles, numerals, tense indicators and other such modifiers.
		The Lojban logo is the result of a poll of the members of the LLG, and is defined as a Cartesian coordinate system superimposed on a Venn diagram.

	Lojban
		The artificial language Lojban (SAMPA ['loZban]) 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.
		Lojban is designed to be as culturally neutral as possible.
		In Lojban, unless you clearly specify otherwise with cmavo, such modifiers always group left-to-right, so "big dog catcher" is a catcher of big dogs, and a "broken light bulb" is a bulb that emits broken light (you can also avoid the ambiguity by creating a new word, so "broken lightbulb" has the intended meaning).

	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.
		The 'version' of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis guiding Lojban development states that "the structures of language constrains the thought patterns of participants in the culture associated with that language." Lojban attempts to test this hypothesis by removing constraints in several areas of language use, while imposing other constraints not found in natural languages.
		Lojban was designed to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis: "the structure of language constrains the thought patterns of participants in the culture associated with that language."

		Lojban and Sapir-Whorf - One formulation of this hypothesis states that the structure of a language constrains thought in that language, and constrains and influences the culture that uses it.
		We need to be able to teach Lojban to subjects who know only their native (non-English) tongue, and we need to know in advance the difficulties that people from each language and culture will have in learning Lojban.
		Lojban as an international language - Lojban may be the first artificial language NOT in direct competition with Esperanto, in that Lojban's potential success is not dependent on its immediate practical use as an international language.

		Lojban is designed to be audio-visually isomorphic, meaning that there's a one-to-one correspondence between the written and spoken forms of a word; thus, written Lojban always indicates stress, rather than leaving it to the imagination as in English.
		Lojban has equivalents for tenses and spatial adverbs and prepositions - and, being regular, treats both the same way, since location in time is the same kind of concept as location in space.
		Lojban generalizes devices such as the passive, and the contrast between forethought and afterthought sequencing ("if p then q" versus "q, if p"), to provide even more flexibility than is typical of natural languages.

	la tenguar: A romantic orthography for Lojban
		Lojban phonetics is much more easily represented in the Tengwar than that of English; its vowels are pure, rather than palatalized, and there is little allophony in the consonants.
		This is because /ng/ is allophonic with /n/ in Lojban.
		It would also be useful to have Lojban equivalents for `stem' (Elvish `telco') and `bow' (`luva'), the words used to describe parts of tengwa; and we want a third coinage for the stroke that distinguishes Series II and IV from I and III.

		This is annoying to Lojban purists but really doesn't matter to me. What I care about is being able to communicate in a way that is fluid and simple and natural for me, and easy for an early-stage AI to comprehend.
		Lojban now also happens to embody the illusion of the unified self, but this is a lot easier to fix in Lojban than in English, because of the simpler and more flexible structure of the Lojban language.
		Lojban is a language for commonsense human communication about everyday things, whereas programming languages have a different purpose and consequently very different purposes.

		The idea is not to teach an AI Lojban instead of English, but rather that teaching it Lojban might be a valuable intermediary step.
		Teaching an AI Lojban has the practical sense that Lojban can be used to interact with the system and teach it all sorts of useful commonsense information about how to interact, think and so forth, as well as about the human and natural world.
		In fact Lojban is far more similar to natural languages in both intent, semantics and syntax than to any of the programming languages you mention.
