<div dir="ltr">Hey folks,<br>I was just browsing through old pictures that are still on the internet, when I came across a very funny one, very Klingon-related. Here's the story to that picture:<br><br>Back in 2007 I was quite active in a language community online (Unilang) and the biggest active thread there at that time was one about the relationship of Hungarian and Sumerian. A Hungarian guy tried to prove their genetical, cultural, linguistic relationship and came up with ever new "evidence" and implausabilities... From a linguistic viewpoint this was all inconsequent and non-scientific rubbish and I tried to convince him that he was wrong (someone is wrong on the internet!)... didn't work, of course. One day I just wanted to show him how easy it was to "prove" a relationship to a random language and chose Klingon, because such a relationship would of course be nonsense. I found a bunch of similar words in Sumerian and Klingon, and because that guy in the forum also compared the Sumerian cuneiforms with the old Hungarian runes, I thought I'd try to "prove" to him that also the Klingon alphabet could be related to the Hungarian runes. And actually that proved to be very successful!<br>
Actually, it almost convinced myself... so I reconstructed the Proto-Galactic alphabet, of which the Klingon pIqaD letters as well as the Hungarian runes derived in ancient times (the runes have to be mirrored, though). See for yourself:<br>
