- This leaf is a straight oversetting of "Lojban".
Lojban (outspoken [ˈloʒban]) is a crafted, setcraftishly suttle mannish tung crafted by the Witcraftish Tung Team. It follows after the Loglan upnimming.
The Witcraftish Tung Team began growing Lojban in 1987. The WTT sought to find out Loglan's goals, and further better the tung by making it more note-friendly and freely yare (as bespoken by its acknowledged full English name, "Lojban: A Realization of Lojban"). After a long time of mooting and fanding at the start, the groundline was fuldone in 1997, and uttered as The Complete Lojban Language. In a frainspeak in 2010 with The New Everwick Times, Arika Okrent, the writer of In the Land of Fangled Tungs, boded: "The crafted tung with the most fuldone speechcraft is likely Lojban—a tung crafted to withleam the eldertruths of witcraft."
Lojban is foreset as an everyday spoken tung for sharing between folk of otherly tung backgrounds, as a likely means of sarewending, and as a tool to rose the thwarsing between mannish speech and software.
Wordwroot[]
The name Lojban is a bindword shaped from loj and ban, which are short hues of logji (witcraft) and bangu (tung).
Yore[]
Lojban's foreling, Loglan, a tung crafted by James Cooke Brown in 1995 and later grown by The Loglan Body, was erstly made as a means to underseech the sway of speech on the speaker's thought (a foreguess known as the Sapir-Whorf stelling).
As Brown started to forehold his twinright on the tung's inholds, bans were put on the meanship's doingness to stop them shifting deals of the tung. To umwork such steering, a team of folk settled upon starting another upnimming, leaving from the wordhoardish groundwork of Loglan and edfangling the whole wordstock, which led to the anward wordhoard of Lojban. In aftermath, they begrounded in 1987 The Witcraftish Tung Team, grounded in Washington, C.S. They also won a rightsake over whether they could call their offshoot of the tung "Loglan".
The loudlorish hue of Lojban gismu (wroot words) was crafted reckonwaily by neasing for loud layouts in words with alike meanings in world tungs and by manifolding those loud layouts by the rime of speakers of those tungs. The list of wroot tungs used for the reckonway was bounded to the six most widely spoken tungs as of 1987—Lofesinger, English, Indish, Spanish, Russish, and Arabish. This outcame in wroot words being in their loudlorish hue a betracklily even mix of English and Lofesinger, with lesser infloods from the other four.
Lojban has also taken the set of bewise markers from the crafted tung Láadan.
Following the uttering of The Fuldone Lojban Tung, it was foreseen that "the leafwritten wordhoard would be groundlined, and the forbind of wordhoard and hint speechcraft would be frozen for at least 5 years while the note of the tung grew. As forethought, this timespan, which has been acknowledgedly called the "freeze", offlept in 2002. The speakers of Lojban are now free to craft new words and ownspeeches, and choose where the tung is heading.
Notes[]
While the starting goal of the Loglan upnimming was to underseech tungish betrackliness, the sprack Lojban meanship acknowledges bycoming notes for the tung, inholding:
- Bettered leed–leed mindshare, owing to the witish and suttle frame and greater means of sayness (note as an everyday spoken tung)
- Outshutting setcraftish twiwordiness in tung
- Note as a teaching tool
- Underseech in craftly orthank and workrig understanding
- Bettered leed–reckoner mindshare, hoard onlores, and sarewending of kindly tung queath
- Underseech in tunglore
- Note as a bookish tung, such as in lore or outhwit
Lojban as an everyday spoken tung[]
Lojban is oved by its speakers in online chatrooms and stevenchat.
Learning helps[]
Asunder the soothfast oving of the tung, some belongers of the meanship and WTT have been seeching to craft sundry helps for the learners. The Complete Lojban Language (CLL, also known as The Red Book owing to its hue, and The Codex Woldemar [The Woldemar Book], after its writer), the marked words on all deals of Lojban, is one of them, settled in 1997. Some of the upnimmings in sundering ranks of fullness are:
- Otherly lorebooks, foredrawings to help learning Lojban
- la muplis, a forewrit listing Lojban quides from Tatoeba fading with their wending to other tungs
- Dealser: la ilmentufa (also inholds fandly speechcraft, la camxes (by Robin Lee Powell and Jorge Llambías), la jbofi'e (by Richard Curnow)
- Fading: la jbovlaste (firstly outshoot by Jay Kominek)
Lojban's learning rawstuffs on the net to speakers of English, Frankish, Spanish, Russish, Ebresh, and Esperanto, to sundry steps.
Lojban as a bookly and menningly tung[]
Like most tungs with few speakers, Lojban lacks much of a linked body of writings and its cunsty furtherings have not been fully found out (the true strength of its holdingly setup, for bisen, is heeded unlikely to be drawn out "until and unless we have children raised thoroughly in a manimenning Lojban-speaking setting). Also such gatherly or wisdombookish wroots of knowledge like the Lojban Mootbook, which may help stretch the tung's wordhoard, are not much well fostered.
Nowenly open Lojbanish writings are mainly clustered on Lojban.org, though there are Lojbanish blog/logbook steads as well. The Lojban FLC (or its backup) has a gathering of Lojbanish saynesses too, but its speechcraftish rightness is not always trused. These brookyarked wares on the web inhold both orspringly works and wending of tokens in the field of kindly tungs, stretching from leethcraft, short tale, talebook, and bookish writing. Forebisens of books that are already brookyarked inhold:
- Elhood's Rose in Wonderland
- The Wonderful Wisle of Oz
- The Little First
- The Forwending
- In a Grove
- Book of Star
