My > question is, are there sounds of people speaking the language? Yes, there are a few. You can find some links at http://www.pdmi.ras.ru/~sklyanin/lojban-links.html#sound. There you can hear Nick Nicholas' short greeting, Robert Rapplean's Lojban tapes (some 20-50 individual gismu), and a story from an (official?) Lojban tape (by Bob and Nora?). I would also like to mention Swiftrain's recordings of his own poems at http://www.sudval.org/users/swifty/lojban/, and some of my own small sound recordings at http://people.fix.no/arj/lojban/test/sentences.html. I asked for feedback on them a couple of months ago, but so far I haven't got any. There is a slight difference in the pronunciation of Lojban's /u/. Rapplean, SwiftRain, Bob & Nora pronounces it more like English "oo", but Nick Nicholas and I use the Romance "u". The reference grammar appears to believe that they're the same sound. co'o mi'e tsali
