Just after I sent this email I realized it was a bit of a nonsense... a true Klingon would never think the Language of the Empire has the smallest possibility of being less developed than the language of a minor race :)!

(I wonder if that could be translated as

tlhIngan teH soHchugh vulqangan Hol Hach law' tlhIngan Hol Hach puS 'e' yIQubQo'

"If you are a true Klingon don't think the vulcan languaje is more developed than the Klingon languaje"

Is there a better way to say it? I mean, maybe more proverb-like, you know ;) )
