Page 77 of The Klingon Dictionary:
"Klingon alphabetical order is as follows:
a, b, ch, D, e, gh, H, I, j, l, m, n, ng,
o, p, q, Q, r, S, t, tlh, u, v, w, y, '
Note that ch, g, ng, and tlh are considered separate letters.
Thus the syllable no would precede the syllable nga in the
Klingon list."
I accept TKD as authoritative.
