Bigs: Rimmer: Oh yeah? Well, as the Esperanto would say, “Bonvoro alsendi la pordiston, lausajne estas rano en mia bideo!” And I think we all know what that means.
Holly: Yes, it means, “Could you send for the hall porter, there appears to be a frog in my bidet.”

Wishbone: This is the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread ;-)
Great minds think alike. ;) Though I was thinking of this quote:
Kryten: "You speak Esperanto, Captain Rimmer?"
Rimmer: "Oh, si si si, jawohl, oiu!"

The corridor levels are in Esperanto.

It's almost like someone invented Google for this sort of thing.

At high or native fluency, it's about 100 times as many Esperanto speakers as Klingon.

Good. Now we know the socially awkward teenage hipsters at the party have a couple of choices when it comes to a common dialogue.

Gibberish. Let's all learn it together. Please, for the sake of the nerds. Don't overstate your uni-linguistic privilege. I mean, as if!

timppu: Yeah... but to my untrained ear it sounded specifically like Spanish.
I can see that, though it's usually described as sounding closer to Italian.

OneFiercePuppy: I just got clued in to this today - there's a Spanish-learning podcast taught by a Scottish gentleman with a distinctly Castillan accent in Spanish. It's a fun set of accents to hear. link
Thanks for that. Listening to it was... an experience.
