KLINGON!! I asked myself before reading this article just by the title what is a klingon? I started to read it and came about to know that it is a language that is spoken by very few people. Very few people can understand and speak the KLINGON language. It is a very hard language to learn, but I guess if you have that inspiration to learn it you can.
KLINGON comes alive in the television show Star Trek!
They are considered aliens in the show, very harsh and gruntle people but at the same time very loyal and honorable. Marc Okrand as mentioned in the article is a person who studied linguistics for many years, so I guess he just thought that learning "klingon" was another interesting language to learn. Okrand had the privilige to win an Oscar for the television show star Trek, you don't see many people winning awards for this kind of paper. He managed to do a dictionary on the "klingon" language and has helped many others to write poems, stories and write wedding vows.
Okrand quotes " Klingon is a type of puzzle that appeals to a type of person. It is difficult, but not impossible"
