=E2=80=8BI do not have much information at the moment, but while LLG and ou=
r IRC
channels are restricted to Noth America, there is a significant community
of lojban speakers/enthusiasts in both Japan and Russia. =E2=80=8BI have no=
t had
the time to contact the Japanese , but I have been in contact with Gleki
Arxokuna, who is our sole link to the Russian community. According to
Gleki, he has about twenty people who are interested in lojban and are
actively learning. What stops them is the lack of stuff available in
Russian, which Gleki is rectifying and their lack of interaction with the
North American body of lojbanists.

I feel that we will be better off if we can involve both the Japanese and
Russian lojbanist communities.

Other, smaller but significant communities that might exist, based on my
logs of #ckule include both German and French-speaking people.
I would propose that we reach out, officially and create active "chapters"
with them. People like Gleki are enthusiastic and if given work to do, will
do it gladly and rather quickly. This can also help with promoting the
language. Of course, this ties in with the discussion about promoting the
language and the publication of the dictionary as well, because we
certainly need dictionaries in more than one language.

There is also a small South Asian community in Pakistan and India that is
interested in lojban but the training materials being unsuitable to their
learning style and being a bit out of date is a barrier as well. I am
trying to fix that, but have not had enough time to do something
substantial.
