I suppose everyone has already heard about the Klingon-language opera.

Interesting. I bought Marc Okrand's first book on Klingon back in the 1980's to see what he and the others were coming up with. My language for aliens is older than Klingon in the real world, but after all these years, it's beginning to behave itself nicely like a real language and I'm glad I didn't have to discuss every detail along the way with others like Marc Okrand has had to. Vocabulary has always been a problem for my language and I would imagine the vocabulary of Klingon has been a hot topic among the 'true believers' for ages.

*It's not my fault. from Marc Okrand's The Klingon Dictionary, 1985, and I believe one of the movies though I'm not enough of Trekkie to say which.

I never know how to pronounce Klingon! I feel sure your language has very rational phonetics and phonology.

Yeah, I guess that would be painfully obvious. ;o)

I mean those would be very good things!

That is v. cool. (Says a person not particularly into Trek...) :-)

I liked NG (Patrick Stewart), but not so much the rest of it--I really like the idea of putting so much effort into something so strange as this.
