Loglan
     
         (Later "Lojban" /lozh'bahn/) An artificial
        human language designed by James Cooke Brown in the late
        1950s.
     
        Most artificial human languages devised in the 19th and 20th
        centuries (e.g. Esperanto) were designed to be easy to learn.
        Loglan, however, is unique in that its chief design goal was
        to avoid synactic ambiguity -- the kind that arises when
        trying to {parse} sentences like "The blind man picked up the
        hammer and saw".
     
        Loglan is thus the only human language unambiguously parseable
        by a formal grammar (assuming you count Loglan as a human
        language; its grammar is not at all like that of any natural
        human language).
     
        Most later development on Loglan continued under the name
        "Lojban".
     
        The Loglan Institute, Inc. is a non-profit research
        corporation.
     
        Loglan is apparently unrelated to the programming languages
        {Loglan'82} or {Loglan-88}.
