The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.Mark 1:1-2

The Klingon language was created by the linguist, Mark Okrand, for the 1984 film, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.  The language has a fully developed grammar and a vocabulary of about 2000 words.  The language is oriented heavily towards verbs and action since it was developed for the fictional warrior species.  There are about twelve persons who are fully fluent in the language. 

Portions of the Bible have been translated into Klingon.  Do not ask me how to pronounce it.
