Constructed languages (conlangs) are artificially created languages designed to be easier to learn than natural languages, which often have complex, irregular grammar and vocabulary. The most famous conlang is Esperanto, created by L.L. Zamenhof in 1887 as an international auxiliary language. Lojban, developed by James Cook Brown starting in 1955, is based on predicate logic and was designed to test the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis (linguistic relativity), which proposes that the language one speaks influences their thought patterns and worldview. Lojban was created to remove the grammatical irregularities and cultural biases inherent in natural languages, allowing speakers to think more logically and objectively. However, Lojban's creator copyrighted the language, leading to the creation of Lojban as an open-source alternative.
