Lojbanists [mailto:jjllambias@gmail.com|Jorge Llambias] and [mailto:leos.molas@gmail.com|Leo Molas] have proposed complete sets of Lojban words for all countries, languages and currencies, basing them on ISO codes. A systematic approach to the use of these codes has enabled a virtually automatic process for producing such words - one likely to work for future, as yet unspecified
codes.
The sets can be found at [http://bit.ly/bgB7PV|http://bit.ly/bgB7PV], [http://bit.ly/9Ma7Qq|http://bit.ly/9Ma7Qq], [http://bit.ly/clUVtb|http://bit.ly/clUVtb] and [http://bit.ly/c43ua5|http://bit.ly/c43ua5].
Lojban words derived from foreign words or external
sources are known as 'fu'ivla'. The proposal is a
solution to a problem that all constructed languages
share. How do you go about efficiently translating tens

languages over thousands of years within the
constraints imposed by your own language rule?'.
