Instead of collecting random bits of audio, it occurs to me that the 
community could devise a short sample corpus of Lojban text that could 
then be recorded as spoken by a wide variety of different accents, 
speech rhythms, mis-pronunciations, etc.

A good place to start would be a Lojban pangram[0], but an ideal 
training set would include most/all legal two-letter combinations. 
Would it be crazy to consider the shortest meaningful text that included 
all cmavo and lujvo?  Probably ...


[0] a short text containing every letter in the alphabet, e.g.
