In my experience with learning languages, not only is learning the alphabet really early material, but so is being able to say the name of the letter(al)s. Perhaps you should just mention the rudimentary scheme for that too? Probably at the end of that section.

Discussion

why don't we just call them all "loglans" since that's a generic term?

nitcion:

Uncontroversially to the LLG and the U.S. courts, perhaps; but for an incentive not to, I refer you to niction

And:

I think it is useful to reserve loglan for members of the Loglan family.
A related term that is useful but unused is engelang or engilang for "engineered language", which is a little more general than loglang, "based on logical principles". Features like self-segregating morphology are not particularly logical, but typical of an engelang.
