No, this doesn't work. "my language" and "Klingon language" are both being
used as the object of the verb, so they both have to be put in the same spot
in the sentence -- *before* the verb. (Gee, I'm seeing a lot of apposition
lately!)

The second part really says "the Klingon language is my language", but
otherwise this works. (It *is* a bit wordy, though.)
