Talk Now! Klingon

Klingon is the language spoken by the legendary Klingon warriors in the hugely successful Star Trek TV shows and movies. The Talk Now! Klingon CD-ROM was developed with the help of Marc Okrand, creator of the Klingon Language, and covers everyday words Klingons would use if they lived on Earth today, including some brand new ones. Phrases that are unique to the Klingon culture are not included.
