About Klingon

Klingon is a constructed language created by linguist Marc Okrand in 1984 for the Star Trek film franchise. Designed to sound alien yet follow consistent grammatical rules, it has since developed a dedicated community of approximately 20,000 speakers worldwide. Klingon is written using the Latin alphabet in its romanized form, though a native script called pIqaD also exists.

Klingon features an unusual Object-Verb-Subject word order, found in very few natural languages. The Klingon Language Institute promotes its study and use, and notable works including Shakespeare's Hamlet and parts of the Bible have been translated into the language. It remains one of the most fully developed and widely spoken constructed languages in the world.
