Author: arpgme To me, Lojban seems too logical and non-natural for me to learn fluently. You have all of these words with "sumti" and if people use words like "fa,fe,fi" you are expected to know which "x" means what. I don't think the human brain can work like that, at least, not fluently. This language looks like something that should be used for computers and not humans. Do you have difficulties remembering all of these cmavo and sumti places? How many fluent speakers are there of Lojban?
