LOGLAN is an artificial human language originally designed/invented by James Cooke Brown in the late 1950's as a tool for investigating the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis. He worked on it for many years with the help and input of many volunteers. As Brown started to claim copyright on the language's components, restraint was laid on the community's activity. Basic textbook: www.loglan.org/Download/Loglan1.pdfDictionaries: www.loglan.org/LOD/L4and5.zipLOJBAN is a constructed, syntactically unambiguous human language based on predicate logic, succeeding the project of Loglan. The name "Lojban" is a combination of loj and ban, which are short forms of logji (logic) and bangu (language), respectively. Development of the language began in 1987 by The Logical Language Group (LLG), who intended to realize Loglan's purposes as well as further complement the language by making it more usable, and freely available (as indicated by its official full English name "Lojban: a realization of Loglan"). After a long initial period of debating and testing, the baseline was completed in 1998 with the publication of The Complete Lojban Language. Grammar: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lojban_grammar
