I respectfully disagree. Authorized source (P'mount), authorized content.
TKD contains the notion of variations (as clipped versus standard),
and the practice of changing "official" dialects on the ascension of a
new emperor. This, IMHO, provides an "out" that excuses the execrable
tlhIngan we hear at times (or don't hear - most of the time, *I* can't
make out what they are saying, anyway, so I don't worry about it) as
variations Maltz hasn't told us about yet. rejmorgh jIHbe'.
