Greetings.
I am forwarding to this list a transcript of a communiqu� sent by the
people of the Las Vegas Hilton's Star Trek: The Experience (tm). They
have sent this to all Trek enthusiasts who registered for email updates.
The text appears in both Federation Standard (English) and tlhIngan Hol
(Klingon). The communiqu� transcript follows:

Here are some of my notes and thoughts on this:
laS veghaS = Las Vegas
quwargh = Quark
qoD = ??? / qoDDaq = ???
(BTW, I don't have KGT yet, do these appear in KGT?)
I did not understand the Klingon beginning at first, but after comparing
it to the English and consulting TKD, I got it; but I don't think I like
it. Is that the correct way to refer to a year?
<wa'-Hut-Hut-chorgh> instead of
<wa'SaD Hutvatlh HutmaH chorgh>?
All nit-picking aside, I enjoyed receiving this communiqu� as a Star
Trek fan and as an enthusiast of tlhIngan Hol. I think the inclusion of
Klingon text in this newsletter update honors the Klingons fans and
linguists, and shows that the warrior's tongue is alive and growing.
Klingon Ambassador,
