A language school in Switzerland has begun teaching Klingon, a fictional language, sketched out in the 1960 for the bad guys in TV series Star Trek. <br /><br />“I’m a big Star Trek fan. I like artificial languages. I’m working as a speech therapist. Therefore, I find it interesting to put myself in a student’s position who can’t understand a thing. But principally, it is fun,” said one eager student. <br /><br />Have fun searching in different languages with #Google. Give pirate or #Klingon a try. https://t.co/3YjtCZNkdB pic.twitter.com/dHilQbFEys— Tina Jacob (@JacobRealty) 30 octobre 2017<br /><br /><br />From the series’ inception fans have taken Klingon and developed and codified it to the point where it has a grammar and lexicography. It has a life of its own, even if it is not much practised anwhere.<br /><br />“In the beginning, I found the grammar very exotic and I thought, wow, how is this possible? Later, I realized that other languages in China, the Caucasus or South America, all the indigenous languages have also an exotic grammar. Thanks to Klingon and some other languages I discovered linguistics and linguistic sciences,” said Klingon instructor Andre Mueller.<br /><br />Marc Okrand, creator of #klingon language for StarTrek, speaking MFLAMD AnneArundelCC. pic.twitter.com/MgVos1kyOe— WCL AACPS (aacpswcl) 20 octobre 2017<br /><br /><br />The Star Trek reboot currently running on TV features more Klingon than any other iteration of the franchise, so if nothing else it may help viewers.<br /><br />The work CanadaAviatrix has done with the #Klingon cast of startrekcbs is nothing short of unprecedented. https://t.co/rhzhmhDoj2— Peter J Hutchison (@TimminsKlingon) 25 octobre 2017<br />
