Hi all!

The "official" Klingon dialect seems to be lacking in quite a few areas,
most notably in the areas of human interest, i.e. art, humanities etc,
things a Klingon would not find at all interesting, most likely.
In the same way as a language such as English has "evolved" when brought
into contact with new countries (for instance North America), I
therefore propose we form our own dialect. This seems to be the largest
active group of Klingon speakers in the world, so why not a sort of human
dialect?
Thanks
