I've never heard it called anything in Moscow, as *Star Trek* is unknown 
here, but tu'vel, voragh and ~mark have come up with the only plausible 
hypothesis. (I use a little different transliteration, though.)

tlhIngan Hol:  *klingonskii iazyk*

tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh'a':  *Govorite li vy po-klingonski?*

tlhIngan:  *klingonets*, *klingontsy* (pl.)

taHjaj tlhIngan wo':  Da zdravstvuet Klingonskaia Imperiia!

Now, why don't we double-check ~mark's Polish:
