   Thanks for the pointer. I'd never heard of Lojban, Loglan, or their   
   spin-offs.   
      
   When one occasionally hears frightening stats of extinct languages   
   [Definition "Extinct language: a language with no living descendants   
   that no longer has any first-language or second-language speakers"] does   
   it include these aberrations? All of a sudden, I don't feel so bad about   
   extinction.
