You can read it at http://www.teddyb.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/lojban/palm/la%20nicte%20cadzu/index.html The next closest contenders are "la alis. cizra je cinri zukte vi le selmacygu'e" at about 31, 100 words, and the text for "la nuntalyli'u" (the Colossal Caves Adventure game) at about 8, 600 words. So, what's my next target? :-) Anyone know what the longest work in Klingon is? Or Esperanto? How about the longest work in any conlang ever?
