Well, yes, in that sense; but then there are no complete languages
whatever.  Neologisms are always appearing in all living languages
and even some dead ones (the Vatican needs to coin Latin words
to refer to modern things).

But outside the lexicon:  Esperanto is complete, Lojban is complete.
(I don't call my book _The Complete Lojban Language_ for nothing;
the title was chosen to imply that not only the book, but also
the language, was complete.)
