Re: [lojban] Re: Making echo while speeching

The simple reason for that is most of us are native English speakers, or are at least competent speakers of same. At least at one point, whether or not true today, this was not merely true of the members on this list, but of Lojban speakers in total. Nowadays we have Lojban groups in various natlangs- I am aware of at least Spanish, Russian, and Japanese, and expect there's an Arabic one as well- so it may no longer be true of all jbopre.

I'll admit I have no idea how much cross-polination there is among the various natlang groups, but I do know one thing- the in-Lojban Lojban list gets the /least/ amount of activity, which is exactly the reverse of how things should be.

Even if nothing else came of it (and I'm not convinced that it doesn't), these kind of discussions are a reminder of the fact that this (in my perception: important) 'lojban' list functions primarily in a random natlang, ie English, and that people (me included) (legitimately or not) feel uncomfortable contributing in other random (nat)langs. I think that such a reminder is in itself valuable. ;)
