You are probably correct about "most natural languages", but among the large standardized languages, it is English, not French, that is the odd man out. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_language_regulators English still has its "authorities", but they are more informal, such as prestigious dictionaries. BTW, the LLG is listed there as the regulator for Lojban, but with Robin's proposal that would have to change to the BPFK. mu'o mi'e xorxes --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
