Re: Translating the word "Klingon" into other languages?

Probably Tliongáinis (Tlionga/inis) as the root noun, without any
lenition, as far as referring to the Klingon Language. If you're
referring to culture, then you'd be looking towards something like
'cultúr Tliongánach'.
A Gaeilge-speaker, unaccustomed to the tlh- letter in Klingon, would
probably render the language as (phonetically) "tuh-lyun-gaw-nuhsh",
with a neutral vowel between the 't' and 'l', much as Gaeilge disallows
'rt' or 'rm' (amongst many others) as consecutive consonant
combinations. ("ort" is spoken as 'oruht'.)
