I'm not quite sure how you come to this conclusion. The Klingon in Star
Trek V is quite good: for the most part, well-pronounced and grammatical.
It has about as many errors as the dialogue in Star Trek III. And in Star
Trek VI we only get some mumbled Klingon and quick phrases, and Christopher
Plummer calling out {taH pagh taHbe'}, but the only scene with extended
Klingon conversation in it has a lot of unintelligible or badly pronounced
lines.
