Here is a good book about our language.
Pri means "about" or "concerning", and it is the preposition that follows the verbs of talking and thinking: paroli pri, pensi pri, scii pri. A noun after pri stays in the nominative, so it is pri la lingvo and never pri la lingvon. Do not confuse it with pro, which gives the cause of something rather than its topic.
