I get very similar numbers for those except Esperanto, for which for some reason I only get 199,000. For English I get 76,700,000. For Espaņol I get 2,390,000. >So someone doing a bit of sustained investigation would soon realize >that Lojban is 57 times more active than Loglan... Well... They shouldn't jump to such linear conclusions, but they would have strong evidence that Lojban is more active than Loglan. >Note that Esperanto >has only 3 times more hits than Lojban. And Espaņol only 6 times more! Since there are more than 300,000,000 native speakers of Spanish, we can estimate the number of Lojban speakers to be around 50,000,000! :) mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
