How would I say, "Lojban is not Vulcan or Borg" in Lojban?

la lojban na vulkan. e borg.

There are rather a lot of errors in that sentence.  It has no
selbri, and names (like vulkan and borg) must have la or doi in
front of them.

How about:

la .lojban. na mintu la .vulkan. .a la .borg.

(the borg have a language?)

Actually, the borg communicate by sending encrypted Lojban to each other over their transponders or whatever their radio-thingies are called.

Incidentally, Vulcan speak a dialect of Lojban without the emotional parts of selma'o UI.
