My own little thoery was, that, as at the time we got our first lessons
in Klingon, there was no emperor, they probably switched to the "classical"
dialect of Kahless.
So, no wonder, modern Klingons can understand the clone, and we actually
learned that "dialect of centuries past" in the first place...
(of course none of this is TRUE or FALSE)
