Well, okay, sorry, but then tlhIngan Hol is the "official" language?

Well if that's so (and I don't know for sure myself), it still isn't the
"official" language, is it? I mean, Marc Okrand was the one called in to
create a language from scratch (save Doohan's jumble of phonemes) which
means that the Star Trek producers wanted to create an authentic sounding
language... now, if they wanted to, they could have kept "Klingonaase" as
the official language and then, well, there wouldn't be another Klingon
language (which Klingonaase is right now). I am wondering, though, why they
didn't pick this "Klingonaase". (I do not know much about Klingonaase myself.)
