Klingon (actually Tlhingan) is a fictional language created by
the linguist Marc Okrand for the Klingon race of aliens featured in the
numerous Star Trek movies and television series. The Klingons are an
interplanetary race of fierce warriors who
control the vast expanses of outer space claimed by the Klingon Empire.
Klingon has been built up into a full totally functional language with a written form, literature, plays, operas, translations of The Bible and the works of William Shakespeare, and even dictionaries. There are now estimated to be 50,000 to 100,000 people who are fluent in the language. Below is The Lord's Prayer in spoken Klingon.
