= i have personnaly studied lojban, and i find it to be a very bad = choice for an auxlang, mostly because of its grammar. i= also never like the phonology since it allows alot o= f bizarre consonant clusters.

it is astound= ingly alien and takes up way too much memory to learn. ther= e is no language on this planet that relies solely on word or= der like lojban does to differentiate gramatical = case. the only cases where you see this, this is = only used for the nominative and maybe the direct object (as in = english).

however, there is some= thing similar you can do that can infact work, it = was something i toyed with while working on my own auxlang. it is = a concept called ‘coverbs’ that do exist in alot of= languages. let me give an example:

= let’s say we had two sentences:

i am g= oing to my home and

i am go= ing from the store

in a language that used = coverbs, there would be no prepostion here. instead eac= h would use a seperate verb. so these sentences would look = something like:

i go-to home

i go-from store

here’s the interest= ing part: if we wanted to say the sentence “I am going = to my home from the store”, we simple combine the two sentences=

together

like so:

= i go-to home go-from store.

i believe chine= se does this, so maybe the chinese guy where-ever he is = could detail it more.
