I have another question. I've heard that the c in Lojban is the sh sound. H= ow is that logicalhis

First of all, the reason why= Lojban in a logical language is because the grammar is based on predicate = logic. Beyond that, very little of Lojban is how it is because of some unde= rlying logic.

That said, the reason why cy. is pronounced "sh" is simple. In English,= c is pronounced in two ways; in the way s is, and in the k is. Since Lojba= n, unlike English, is a phoenetic language, that means that in Lojban, some= thing with the sound of "s" is always spelled with s, and something with th= e sound of "k" is always spelled with a k, which means that "c" as it is in= English doesn't exist. The creators gave cy. the "sh" sound for the same r= eason it gave xy. the "kh" sound, didn't include "q", "w", or "h", and made= "y" always a vowel- to remove overlap between letterals and make a large v= ariety of sounds be typed with only one letteral.
