You’ve not heard Hamlet until you’ve heard it spoken in Ferengi.
It puts all other versions to shame.
A little of that goes a looooong way.
The shortest of google searches indicates Klingon is a totally made up language==NOT LIKE pig latin which is manipulated English. Being totally made up, I don’t see how it will ever catch on whereas Pig Latin is always “oodgay orgay a laughaye”
It *is* better in the original Klingon.
Bobbo,
Did you mean “Oodgay orfay a aughlay?”
I’m sorry – Klingon get you laid. Gaelic, on the other hand, makes women weak in the knees.
This didn’t sound like typical “Klingon” I’ve heard over the years. It sounds more like Samoan, Hawaiian or Pacific islander language.
Must have been a different accent of Klingon, maybe the actor doesn’t speak English?
#3 aren’t ALL languages made up at some point, and evolve over time? Granted Klingon was created by a linguist for the Star Trek movies and TV shows so that they didn’t sound like they were just babbling. Probably took a few months to develop it. Still all languages are “made up.”
That was amazing. Although, the voice sounded more high pitch than usual klingon, or maybe I’ve just watched a bit too much of Next Generation.
Oh, and why does a language being ‘made up’, or a ‘mutation’ make any difference in how funny something is, Oray owhay omthingsay unnyfay isay.
