Lojban like Esperanto has been created to be a neutral lingua franca.
I’ve heard that it’s a logical language that tries to do away with ambiguity and that sounds interesting to me.
Esperanto feels like a language made for the EU rather than the world and so do all Esperanto look-a-likes.
Lojban sounds like a cross between Romansh and a lost native American language. Not good compared to my two favorite sounding languages, Japanese and French, but at least more neutral than Esperanto. Esperanto sounds Spanish and Interlingua sounds like an Italian that thought that Esperanto should sound Italian and I don’t like how either of those two languages sound.
I have no clue, but it’ll be better than a language that thinks it’s acceptable for words like “read”
to not just have two different meaning, but two different pronunciations,
while also having words like “sense”, “scents” and “cents” be pronounced exactly the same.
And while writing this, I just learned that pronunciation should be spelled with “u” instead of “ou”.
That makes no sense.
Lojban for now
Certainly not Esperanto
Are we sure it’s actually usable as a natural language?

Yes, the spelling is terrible, even if the spoken language is not.
