Thus, I might mention "Mirandés", but I wouldn't call it "Asturian", even in English. We have had contact with the French since long before this custom started, so calling it "Francais" would be out of place. Lojban is a language created *for linguistic research*, so of course the preferred English word for it is "Lojban". "Loglan", according to the courts, is a generic term for a language based on logic. Lojban is a loglan; so is TLI Loglan, as is Guaspi (which should have some random punctuation in the name, but I don't remember what), also Plan B and its parody Plan C. Lojban is not Plan C, but both *officially* fall under the heading of Loglan. However, nobody uses the name "Loglan" except to mean TLI Loglan, which is *not* the same as Lojban. Even you refer to "Loglan", meaning TLI's implementation of JCB's idea, and "Lojban" for LLG's version. >=> using keywords in the meta description tag which is not related to the >page content" >Loglan is certainly "related" to lojban. Some people say lojban *is* Loglan. >(I think they are different words in different languages for the same thing.) You know full well that's not the kind of relationship they mean.
