[lojban] la cinban.

[mungojelly@ixkey.info]

Hello, I have discovered/invented a new language which I'm calling "la  
cinban." which is an excerpt of Lojban.  Cinban is the application of  
UI cmavo to English text.  The name of the language comes from this  
old post by Robin, where he was actually suggesting it in passing as  
an alternative name for Lojban itself:

.i .a'u On his very next post on the same thread, he uses Cinban as  
I'm describing it, adding a "{.ie}" to the beginning of an English  
sentence:

In fact, as I'm sure all long-term Lojbanistanis are well aware,  
Cinban .i'u has always been very commonly spoken on this email list  
and in other Lojbanic arenas.  What I'm hoping .a'o to do is just to  
give it some more specific energy ro'e & focus, to really see what can  
be brought out of it.  I believe .iaro'a that Cinban itself is a  
useful and interesting language, which might be worth learning not  
just as a stepping stone to Lojban, but also on its own merits.

I've created a forum

http://groups.google.com/group/cinban

where I plan to practice .o'o using Cinban until I'm fully fluent .a'o  
in it.  Anyone's welcome .e'uro'a to join me, of course. .uenaidai
