Preface

Extended Lojbanic Grammar (ELG, formerly CLL and Berry lessons) is the full reference grammar of La Bangu, a Lojban dialect developed by Lojbanic community in IRC chat channel #lojban. Compared to CLL ELG is more bulky.

Not for newbies obviously. Not really a continuation of the Crash Course.

ELG is to be written mostly in simple Lojban. Many borrowings from English are expected. Many parts of ELG are based on CLL.

ELG presents different interesting aspects of Lojban language, it's grammar, vocabulary and applications in different fields.
