Well, all vowels in Klingon are pronounced exactly as Spanish vowels, that
is, one single non-compound sound for each letter. By the way, in Spanish
we don't have long or short vowels, but we can extend a vowel to add
emphasis to a certain word in the sentence.
(I just though I'd give my thoughts on something I do know :) )
