In Star Trek 6, The Undiscovered Country, there was a guard
repeatedly asking something that sounds like:

Doojvets o nook?

He was apparently Morskan. Besides the "ts" pronunciation of
{tlh}, he also omitted the trailing {H} in {'oH} and the {-'e'}
on the subject of {'oH} and his {q} was very shallow, very much
like an English "k", all of which are traits of Morskan
dialect.
