As I understand it, the denial of the Klingon "alphabet" as
appropriate for being included in the Unicode standard explicitly
acknowledges Klingon as a language. The reason it was denied is
because of a policy of not including any "fantasy" scripts, in an
apparent fear of setting a precedent and having every little private
alphabet submitted for inclusion.
