>Does Klingon have cases so the word order doesne matter, like Latin?
Klingon has no case marking. Word order matters completely. The role
of a word is determined by its place in the sentence.
>Or is it more like English?
It's more like English, but not a lot. :-) Klingon uses a system of
noun and verb suffixes to accomplish a lot of what are separate words
in English.
