In Russian, the very name of Lojban sounds bad, because "lozh'" in Russian 

means "lies". :(


A typical dialogue between me and some Russian(s) I am telling about Lojban:


Me: ...Yeah, and that great language is called "Lojban".

He/They: Hmm... What a stupid name. Couldn't they invent something better?

Me: For Americans this name sounded OK.

Damn, I first saw "actor" and only then "author" :)


IMHO a film in Lojban, be it about massacres or about roses and angels,

won't be of any interest for any naljbopre.
