Science And Fiction

I don't know why ever one should want to learn Klingon (when the bastards speak there are subtitles, after all).

However, if you really have so much free time, you should consider that an illiterate Klingon deserves as much esteem as a Vulcanian, so you're better follow my links and learn the alphabet!

Anyway, invented alphabets (but aren't them all?) are not only for science-fiction: they exist also in science tout court and are used by linguists to provide formal spellings for modern, ancient, or supposed languages.
