I had need to look up words in Klingon before ... I found an entire wiki devoted to the subject ... including the theoretical underpinnings to what they were doing here is the link if anyone is interested.

The guy who 'created' Klingon, Marc Okrand, is a linguist by profession.

Edit: To prevent any confusions ... I would like to point out that I'm not proposing creating a 'klingon-type' of language here on Santharia.

Recently I watched some episodes of the The Big Bang Theory and wondered, how one can play scrabble in a non existent language - in Klingon, but obviously it is developed far enough!

Ah yes, forgot to point out to Shabakuk that Chapter 5 is ready for testing - will do so now!

I am pleased it is going well for you though Seeker ... can't wait to try it and die. :D
18 May 2012, 09:35:13
No, I didn't Seeker. :( I think it is Master Anfang who is doing the testing

Dek-   shoals is going very well.  Art is starting on chapter 6. A very important chapter.  Did you test chapter 5?
