hello two questions about lojban i know that it use elements of languajes chinese is aislant but lojban in general is a flexive languaje no? so i think it need an agglutinant adition or aislant or both and for me is important to add a new logical or illogical values to discover new ways or find errors because is the only way of see what we can learn so if you like think about it good bye! ;)

Morphological typology of languages:

- Isolating: each morpheme is a different word.
- Synthetic: words can consist of several morphemes
      - Polysynthetic: whole sentences can be crammed into single words
      - Fusional (or Inflecting): morphemes can accomodate several funcions, the form of morphemes can vary.
      - Agglutinative: morphemes are invariant

Lojban is somewhere between Fusional and Agglutinative. It doesn't really have morphemes which mix several functions, but its combining forms do vary depending on position and surrounding forms. Lojban can be used as an isolating language though. That's what I did in "http://www.lojban.org/tiki/lo+nu+binxo", which doesn't use lujvo at all.   

Claims have been made that Lojban can be used as a polysynthetic language too, but I don't think so.
