In Lojban,the letters which appear in the word Lojban are pronounced thusly:
L as in Logger; O as in wOn't; J as in aZure; B as in Boy; A as in wAter; N as in Nice;
Lojban is therefore pronounced LõZH-ban, with stress on "LõZH".
"Lojban" is a cmene (name) derived from the lujvo (compound word) "lojbau", a conjunction of "lojbo bangu", a tanru meaning "logical type-of language".
"Lojban" is not ambiguous as to spelling, being phonetic (unlike "phonetic") and also non-ambiguous in meaning, since the name for the logical language Lojban means "logical language".
