A place where you can ask a question about the Shannon entropy of a
*language*, a concept that regularily generates scholarly research
papers, without generating a discussion?  I would very much hope
that no such place exists; that would be a sad and boring place.

In this particular case, no-one knows the answer because no-one has
studied it.  We're all unpaid volunteers.  Feel free to do it
yourself; http://corpus.lojban.org/ would be a good starting point.
