The native language of Lolagi IV is Federation Standard, though there are numerous "loan words" from the languages of the original settlers interspersed in native dialogue. One such phrase is "Hananāhana," which can be translated as "Thank Heavens," "Providence provides," or "Saints be praised," among other interpretations. Another word is 'keff', which is a verb with various meanings attributed to it, though none suitable for use in polite company. | The native language of Lolagi IV is Federation Standard, though there are numerous "loan words" from the languages of the original settlers interspersed in native dialogue.

A common hand gesture among natives of Lolagi IV is the clutching of the fist while extending both the thumb and the pinky. This can be variously interpreted as "Everthing is good", or "Everything is okay," but also is meant to include the wish that everything is well with the person to whom the hand gesture is directed. | A common hand gesture among natives of Lolagi IV is the clutching of the fist while extending both the thumb and the pinky.
