Klingon (KLI pIqaD)

Klingon is the constructed language created by Marc Okrand for the Star Trek franchise. It is designed to sound "alien" and is spoken by the fictional Klingons in the various Star Trek series and movies. Klingon is also known for its use of "unusual" grammar and word order. The Klingon language (Klingon: tlhIngan Hol) is a constructed language created by linguist Marc Okrand for theStar Trek franchise. The language's sound, designed to be "alien", is a mixture of guttural and hissing consonants and long, harsh vowels. Klingon features distinctive grammatical patterns, such as object-subject-verb word order and the use of postpositions instead of prepositions. The language also has no words for "yes" or "no", instead using frame questions to elicit required information from the listener. Klingon was first introduced in the 1984 film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and has since been featured in several Star Trek series and movies. The language has also been adopted by some fans of the franchise, who use it for communication, recreation, or creative expression.
