I agree that Lojban is a "research language", but that is certainly a good thing! Seen in relation to its size/popularity, quite a large amount of research in linguistics and computer science sprouted from it. I myself have comitted a master's thesis to the language [1] (on p. 29 I attempt to summarize where it was picked up in academia)

So what is the actual class of the language? YACC means LALR(1) and PEG means LL(*), afaik. Can you write a LL(k) or even SLL(k) grammar?

If you mean particular values of k then modern Lojban isn't compatible with non-infinite lookahead although pragmatically a high value of k may do the trick on real texts. As for SLL I'm no expert, sorry.
