[lojban] Re: Alternate writing systems?



You can pretend that if you like, but there is nothing wrong with the Latin-based orthography. It fits perfectly Lojban's actual history, although maybe not some fictional history.

hmm, so maybe an alternate writing system like elian script would be more like the "native lojban" while the latin alphabet is used for teaching new people etc...  Kind of like what romaji is to Japanese.

The problem with using an Alternate writing system is that you could only really use it when you're handwriting something. Sure, it would make in even more culturally neutral, but when you're writing something in Lojban on the computer or when you want to print something it's just much more convenient to use something which is as wide spread like the Roman-alphabet. Although I have to agree that Elian Script looks awesome.
