I do not dispute that. I rather prefer tlhIngan Hol to Klingonaase, and
though I'm not sure I care what's "real" Klingon (it IS fiction, after
all), tlhIngan Hol certainly seems more believable.
However, that doesn't mean that Klingonaase wouldn't be fun to play with,
just 'cuz. No, it's not as fully-developed as tlhIngan Hol (IMO). No,
it's not as well-designed as tlhIngan Hol (IMO). Yes, many of its words
are respelled English/Terran. As good a language maybe it isn't. But it
could still be fun (Hell, if I refused to study anything except The Perfect
Language, I wouldn't study anything!) If I choose to do anything with it
(and if I do, I hope some of you will help), the result almost certainly
won't be what Ford was planning, and possibly not what anyone else was
planning except those who actually contribute to it. And I wouldn't claim
it to be otherwise. It would be completely "non-canon", even so far as
Ford's Klingonaase is concerned (which is itself "non-canon," as it exists
only in the novels, which Roddenberry said were not part of the Star Trek
canon, and of course isn't part of the tlhIngan Hol canon).
