coi dear sir!

I would like to add Lojban to my website of TOP TEN LANGUAGES TO LEARN:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/8029/top10.html

I invite you to take a look.

However, I would like to know two things before I add Lojban information:

1. The approximate number of fluently proficient speakers (capable of
speaking/reading/writing Lojban correctly in everyday situations and
"off-book")  Although you have many partizans, I am somehow assuming that
this is not a great number... 2? 5? 10?

2. How you say "lojban" in lojban.. :)  I am assuming this is
"la lojban", the "la" indicating a proper noun?

Thanks for your help!  I would like to do my part in promoting Lojban to
the universe!

                     christian

PS: Please forward this to your lojban-list in case others might have
comments.
