- From what I've seen of Klingonaase, it looks far too dissimilar from
tlhIngan Hol to be a dialect. It couldn't be a related language. What's
more logical reasoning is that there is more than one language spoken on
Qo'noS that developed separately. Star Trek's one-language-per-species may
be what we've seen, but it's really silly on the whole. If we can manage a
few hundred or thousand languages on our planet, surely the Klingons in
their history could have mustered two or three language-families. ST's
treatment of language has been so laughable anyway (universal translator,
ha. Even if it existed, it's so awfully pervasive; *EVERYone* seems to
have it, even the Kazons. And it works better than anything like that
possibly could. Male and female are universal constants indeed.)
