What is Lojban?

Lojban is an artificial language modelled on formal logic. It was initially designed in order to test whether language influences thought. Having gone through the convolutions of using it, Lojbanists tend to be fairly sceptical about such claims; the attraction Lojban holds for me is that it is one formal model of language which actually puts its money where its mouth is, and tries to take on an entire linguistic system rather than toy sentences and a postage stamp's worth of vocabulary. The language's detailed and painstakingly compiled language definition materials are available, the 'write-up' has been completed, and the reference grammar has been published.
