I'm wondering if you wrote a prolog-lojban grammar if you could easily
teach the computer to speak (lojban) the trick with programming correct
grammars they are so diverse, if you had only logical rules then it'd be
a simple thing to program all legal combinations of words, or how to
express things.

If you are into software and lojban, I'd like to know what you think of
Prolog.  I'm learning prolog, I haven't started Lojban (one thing at a
time) but I'm very interested in the potential.

Respectfully,
Luke
