I've got a few questions concerning the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. Almost 
everywhere you can read that JCB created Loglan in order to 'test' the 
SWH. Can this attempt now be seen as successful, or did it fail? Or did 
it perhaps turn out that Loglan/Lojban is the wrong instrument to test 
it? I know that the strong version of the SWH nowadays is not being 
really supported by science, but is it still an issue the 
Lojban-community is talking about?

I couldn't find anything on your sites mentioning this subject, that's 
why i wanted to ask you directly.

thanks in advance for answers,

Nils Sch?ffer
