[lojban] Re: minimal lojban

[Brian Eubanks <jorne@eubot.com>]

For my computer-parsing experiments, I've been using a minimal Lojban.
BRIVLA, LE/LO/LA, I, DU'U, KA, CU, numbers, and the pro-sumti. (it's 
soooo easy to parse)
 
It can express about 90% of what I want to say.
Something like that would make a good "reader" for kids to learn Lojban. 
(or adults!)

Sure, why not?

One very minimal lojban could consist of just BRIVLA, LE,
PA, KOhA, CU, I and UI, for example. Or you can construct
your minimal lojban by selecting the selmaho you consider
most indispensible.
