Re: Pronounciation KLBC (i'd like to get ahold of some one with a mic)

Shane MiQogh ([email protected])



I'm studying klingon for the shear fun of it, and adding to the fun would be able to understand what actors are saying in the shows and stuff cause they NEVER do a literal translation in any language, and the translations are even worse for Klingon. though the first movie was before the creation of the language, it pleasures me to no end to say "That's not what he said" when he says "DaH!" lol

I will say that 99% of my use of klingon has
been text-based, so I don't find the issues
of pronunciation as pressing as some people
appear to (then again, I study Ancient Egyptian,
so I'm very comfortable with having essentially
_no_ idea how the words are pronounced).
