Lojban (pronuncia-se [ˈloʒban]) é uma língua criada por um grupo de linguístas ao longo de 10 anos, que vem ganhando vários adeptos pelo mundo, notavelmente em em países anglófonos.

É uma língua construída com base no chamada lógica de predicados, tornando-o uma espécie de ponte entre diferentes línguas e culturas.

Lojban, a Odisséia para nosso Universo.

O que é que é único sobre essa língua? Todas as línguas naturais nascidas de um povo e cultura têm desvantagens internas como complicações em regras gramaticais, preconceitos e restrições que desencorajam outras formas de pensar. Lojban é projetado para nos libertar destas restrições e ver o mundo de forma mais completa.

As vantagens de Lojban são:

• Falar em Lojban permite você dizer as coisas de uma forma mais curta, sem detalhes desnecessários que distraem. Por exemplo, você não precisa sempre pensar em qual tempo (passado, presente ou futuro) irá usar em um verbo, quando já está claro a partir do contexto. Quando você precisar de detalhes, você adiciona-os. Mas, ao contrário de outras línguas, Lojban não força a isso.
• Lojban dispõe de ferramentas inéditas para expressar emoções humanas.

• Lojban é para os amantes do conhecimento (filósofos, no sentido original).
• Lojban é para os cientistas que gostam de todos os conceitos sejam postos em um sistema conciso.
• Lojban é a melhor ferramenta para a implementação de máquina de tradução automática.
• Lojban rompe a barreira da incompreensão de pessoas com diferentes origens.
• Por último, Lojban também é divertido!

Lojban é fácil de aprender - o número de radicais no idioma é somente de 1341. Não é muito para começar a falar!

E você pode falar de uma forma concisa:

✔ "co'e" (pronuncia-se "sho-rre") em Lojban significa "thinkamagic/crap/any object" ;) .

✔ "se catlu" (pronounced as "seh shatlooh") - all that can be looked at: a face, a mountain landscape, the book.

Beauty in the artifice: an introduction to Lojban by Ewa

a «lightning talk» introduction to Lojban by Timo Paulssen

Lojban is a carefully constructed spoken language. It has been built for over 50 years by dozens of workers and hundreds of supporters.

• Lojban's grammar is based on simple rules, and its linguistic features are inspired by predicate logic.
• Lojban allows the expression of nuances in emotion using words called attitudinals, which are like spoken emoticons. ue marks that you're surprised; ba'u marks that you're exaggerating.
• You can be as vague or detailed as you like when speaking lojban. For example, specifying tense (past, present or future) or number (singular or plural) is optional when they're clear from context.
• Lojban is machine parsable, so the syntactic structure and validity of a sentence is unambiguous, and can be analyzed using computer tools.
• There is a live community of speakers expanding the lojban vocabulary day by day.

Lojban means different things to different people

• 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
