The six languages are given in their original scripts --- Arabic, Chinese (Traditional), Devanagari & Arabic (Hindi, Urdu), Cyrillic, Latin (English, Spanish). This has caused me much woe and delay in getting the Unicode, postscript, and pdf right. It also still has some gaps, and I hereby request that any Lojbanists competent in Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese check the pdf for accuracy and comprehensiveness. (I will also need a simplified Chinese version, for completeness; aulun, would you mind gritting your teeth and committing this barbarism for me? ;-) .) In particular the Arabic and Urdu are likely to be shaky, and there are a couple of Hindi examples where I don't know if there is corresponding Urdu, and if there is, how it's pronounced. The pdf is at: http://www.opoudjis.net/lojbanbrochure/lojbanLevel0.pdf When the language checking is done, I will do one final proofread, and then I will release the booklet for publication.
