Klingon (pIqaD)
Fictional script created by linguist Marc Okrand in 1984 for the Star Trek TV series.
Fictional script created by linguist Marc Okrand in 1984 for the Star Trek TV series. Designed with a unique phonological system and grammar to create a concretely logical alien language. Klingon is listed in the Guinness World Records as "the world's most widely spoken constructed language," and a Klingon translation of Hamlet has been published. Unicode registration was proposed in 1997 but rejected. Today thousands of dedicated fans worldwide actually converse in Klingon.
