formal language

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

What do we call a formal language in Lojban? It's a set of strings made 
of letters of some alphabet, often described by a formal grammar. 
Although many formal languages are used to express meaning, some, such 
as the MIU system, are mere mathematical objects. So if a formal 
language is any kind of bangu, it has to be a zilbau.
