!! coi .i mi'e la eli,ias. nikokocev I just started Lojbaning, so please correct me. Is my name .elias. , .eliia. or .eli,ias.? (I'd like to pronounce it ''elija'', not ''ilya''). !!! Who am I I'm a mathematician from [http://wwwth.itep.ru|ITEP], it's in ((Moscow)), ((Russia)). Personal data: young, male, russian, never, not yet, ... !!!Biography I was brought up in Moscow and Lipetsk. Although I was born in Uzbekistan, my native language is Russian. I'm (rather) fluent in English, but I like communicating in French and German. I studied a bit Italian and Chinese. I loved languages from the very youth, so I learned ((Esperanto)) and tried to create my own language, German-based. Now (Nov 2003) I've found Lojban, wow! !!!Why Lojban * Natural languages have their problems, * constructed languages are boring for everybody except their author * It's really great to find a logical language spoken, even by small amount of people. If, I hope, this continues for some time, Lojban wouldn't be constructed language anymore, it will has its own irregularities etc. * Everybody loves creating something. What's more interesting than creating the new world, esp. for ourselves? We'll get our own jboklu, jbotut and la lojbangug * Not so many people love speaking English as a world language, so may be Lojban descendants will unite more people than ever. __Idea:__ when we have enough Lojban people, we could try hieroglyphic script for gismu, with may be special script for cmavo and cmene, like Japanese. !!!
