Lojban (pronounced ˈloʒban) is a constructed, syntactically unambiguous human language.

Usage

As a spoken language

Lojban is practiced by its speakers in voice and text chats.

As a programming language

There've been several installments showing Lojban to be used as a declarative and as a functional programming language.

As a machine interlingua

Lojban is proposed to be used as a intermediate language in machine translation (due to it being a speakable language as well, which alleaviates proofreading of texts converted from other languages and due to its syntactic unambiguity).
