<p>KvaGram: /* Explanation */ Although I am a beginner in Lojban, I found the title-text translation a bit lacking on it self. Thus I added a literal translation.</p> <hr /> <div>{{comic<br /> | number = 191<br /> | date = December 1, 2006<br /> | title = Lojban<br /> | image = lojban.png<br /> | titletext = zo'o ta jitfa .i .e'o xu do pendo mi<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Explanation==<br /> {{w|Lojban}} is a constructed language designed to be logical, unambiguous, and culturally neutral — similar to the better known artificial language {{w|Esperanto}}.
