  1. OK, so when Howard, Leonard, Raj, and Sheldon speak Klingon, was there really a set language created for Star Trek?

    1. Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! Yes - there is, in fact, a set Klingon language. The language's basic sound, along with a few words, was first devised by James Doohan ("Scotty") for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The film marked the first time the language had been heard on screen. In all previous appearances, Klingons spoke in English. Klingon was subsequently developed by Marc Okrand into a full-fledged language. There's actually a Klingon Dictionary (which Okrand wrote), and Klingon Language Institute http://kli.org/
