Lojbanistan - a camp with a new langauage that you can join.

coi ro do

For those that don't know "lojban" is a constructed language that is made from the worlds six most spoken languages, is completely logical, and mind-expanding to learn. I've been practicing for about 6 months, and am by no means an expert, just enthusiastic. But can teach some basic parts and we can learn together.

A unique lojban expression:

ko ga'inai nenri klama le mi zdani
you-[imperative] [me-the-social-inferior!] inside-type-of come that-which-is-described-as having-to-do-with-me house
I would be honored if you would enter my residence.


We can have an end Goal to perform a translated skit of Monty Python as an art form at the end.

I am a virgin this year, and an orphan too. I want you to be part of lojbanistan.

As for equipment I won't have anything special. In fact that will mean that we will be forming the first lojbanistani customs!

Ne parola Esperanto?

[notconfusing]

Ne parola.

maybe we can make it a joint conlangs camp though if you want. I would love to learn some Esperanto. malgrande! malglico.

Alas, I know three words of Esperanto, and I can spell only two of them -- and I'm not quite sure about one of those. All I can do is recognize when somebody asks me if I speak Esperanto, so I can reply politely that I don't. My parents taught me that, so I would be a courteous World citizen.
I just wanted to tease you. This is ePlaya.

To be sure, I'm all for your Lojban camp. (But I do kind'a wonder why we need another fabricated World Language. Maybe because Esperanto never really took.)

Carry on!

(Maybe because language creation is something that we all do all the time in all sorts of ways that make these things look dry and pedantic...)

Pretty cool. Unfortunately I will miss this year. Kudos!
