-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 :) )
Qapla'
-Mago
Not entirely - The Klingon I is pronounced like "i in misfit" (TKD, p. 16),
whereas the Spanish i is pronounced like Enghlish ee (el dia bonito = ell
dee-ah boh-nee-toh) - the fact that it is the only capitalized Klingon vowel
serves to remind us of the difference.
