Upon further investigation of all of my extensive resources,
Intelligence reveals that there WAS an Emperor at this time, and that
there could not only have been another dialect in fashion, but that
the Empire may have used an entirely different language from the
Homeworld.
I won't send the proof, since that seems to be off topic, even though
IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE LANGUAGE.

nuq, vISaH?
You most certainly have that backwards, at least what has proven true
in the historical perspective:
TKD and the language came out AFTER the movie(s), and we will have to
wait years for any 'official' confirmation of this recent 'Canon'
revelation, as we did KGT after the other series.
IF we get one at all.
On the other hand, I'm sure you enjoyed ATLANTIS.

Once again, I beg your pardon for having included the members of the
tlh-H ListServ in the greater Klingon Kommunity. Your ivory towers
have guarded you well. Open not the gates, lest the masque of the Red
Death wander in.

Did they NOT ask Marc? I don't know, since I haven't asked. He never
talks about what he's currently working on. We didn't find out about
Atlantis until two-years after he finished that effort. If you're
right; that P/V Branon & Braga didn't even bother...then this is a
very sad state to be in.
Maybe it's finally time to take up Vulcan ...
