A lot of effort has been put into parsing Lojban. It is the most
formalized thing about Lojban there is. I would really recommend
you don't reimplement the grammar yourself, but use the PEG grammar
that Robin put so much work into producing instead.

It's your language. ;-)

I only work on open source projects, though if you were to open
source this project I'm still not very likely to help. I don't
have any way to compile or run C# code, and these days no one even
has to pay me to write C++, I just get to pretend it doesn't exist.
I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish with this
project, I'm sorry to say. I don't see the vision yet. I
understand *what* you're doing, but I don't understand *why*.
