Etymology

From Lojban lojban., from rafsi loj (logji (“logic”)) + ban (bangu (“language”))

Pronunciation

• IPA: /ˈloʒban/, X-SAMPA: /"loZban/

Proper noun

Lojban

1. 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.
