At the same time, some others have developed languages in detail for their own sake, such as J. R. R. Tolkien's Quenya and Sindarin and Star Trek's Klingon language which exist as functioning, usable languages.

Perhaps the most fully developed fictional alien language is the Klingon language of the Star Trek universe-a fully developed constructed language.

* The fictional Klingon language has three classes: capable of speaking, body part and other.

* tlhIngan Hol, the Klingon language

The Klingon language ( tlhIngan Hol, pronounced ) is the constructed language spoken by the fictional Klingons in the Star Trek universe.

Klingon was subsequently developed by Okrand into a full-fledged language.

Klingon is sometimes referred to as Klingonese ( most notably in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode " The Trouble With Tribbles ", where it was actually pronounced by a Klingon character as " Klingonee " ) but, among the Klingon-speaking community, this is often understood to refer to another Klingon language called Klingonaase that was introduced in John M. Ford's 1988 Star Trek novel The Final Reflection, and appears in other Star Trek novels by Ford.

A shorthand version of Klingonaase, and later with the same term adopted by tlhIngan Hol itself, is called " battle language ", or " Clipped Klingon ".

Though mentioned in the original Star Trek series episode " The Trouble With Tribbles ", the Klingon language first appeared on-screen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture ( 1979 ).

With the advent of the series Star Trek: The Next Generation ( 1987 )— in which one of the main characters, Worf, was a Klingon — and successors, the language and various cultural aspects for the fictional species were expanded.

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode " A Matter of Honor ", several members of a Klingon ship's crew speak a language that is not translated for the benefit of the viewer ( even Commander Riker, enjoying the benefits of a universal translator, is unable to understand ) until one Klingon orders the others to " speak their ' humans ' language ".

The pilot episode of the prequel series Star Trek: Enterprise, " Broken Bow " ( 2001 ) describes the Klingon language as having " eighty polyguttural dialects constructed on an adaptive syntax ".

Hobbyists around the world have studied the Klingon language.

The Klingon Language Institute exists to promote the language.

Additionally, while the validity is disputed by legal scholars, the copyright of the Klingon language is owned by Paramount as well.

Even though Marc Okrand has studied the indigenous languages of the Americas, the Klingon language is not based upon any of those languages.

A small number of non-Klingon characters were later depicted in Star Trek as having learned to speak Klingon, notably Jean-Luc Picard and Jadzia Dax.

The use of untranslated Klingon words interspersed with conversation translated into English was commonplace in later seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, when Klingons became a more important part of the series ' overall story-arcs.

The Shakespearian choices were inspired by a remark from High Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, who said, " You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.

Within the fictional universe of Star Trek, Klingon is derived from the original language spoken by the messianic figure Kahless the Unforgettable, who united the Klingon home-world of Qo ' noS under one empire more than 1500 years ago.

When initially developed, Paramount Pictures ( owners of the Star Trek franchise ) wanted the Klingon language to be guttural and harsh and Okrand wanted it to be unusual, so he selected sounds that combined in ways not generally found in other languages.

For example, if I say “ Star Wars is a shitty movie ,” and my friend says, “ Star Wars is not a shitty movie !” We have no shared reality, for in our language, truth lies in only one of our statements and we can forever argue these truths until one of us writes a book and has more authority than the other.

For Star Trek III: The Search for Spock ( 1984 ) director Leonard Nimoy and writer-producer Harve Bennett wanted the Klingons to speak a proper language instead of made-up gibberish and so commissioned Okrand to develop the phrases Doohan had come up with into a full language.

The language appeared intermittently in later films featuring the original cast-for example, in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier and in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country ( 1991 ), where translation difficulties served as a plot device.

The languages of some fictional worlds have been worked out in great detail, with grammatical rules and large vocabularies, such as J. R. R. Tolkien's Elvish languages, and the Klingon language of Star Trek.

" Using his considerable vocal skills, Doohan devised the Vulcan and Klingon language dialogue heard in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

He was hired by Paramount Pictures to develop the Klingon language and coach the actors using it in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country and Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The 1982 science fiction film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan used " Amazing Grace " amid a context of Christian symbolism, to memorialize the death of Mr. Spock but more practically, because the song has become " instantly recognizable to many in the audience as music that sounds appropriate for a funeral " according to a Star Trek scholar.

The subspace radio, best known today from Star Trek and named for the method used in the series for achieving faster-than-light travel, was the most commonly used name for such a faster-than-light communicator in the science fiction of the 1930s to the 1950s.

* In the episode " 11: 59 " of Star Trek: Voyager's fifth season ( original air date: May 5, 1999 ), Earth's first self-contained ecosystem known as " The Millennium Gate " is referenced and described as one kilometer tall and having begun construction in 2001.

* In the television series Star Trek: The Next Generation, one of the Enterprise-D's Shuttlecraft is named after Sakharov, and is featured prominently in several episodes.

This follows the Star Trek tradition of naming Shuttlecraft after prominent scientists, and particularly in The Next Generation, physicists.

It was during this period that a number of simple computer games were written in BASIC, most notably Mike Mayfield's Star Trek.

* Some Klingons wear baldrics in Star Trek.

Jean-Luc Picard admonishes Worf in Star Trek: Insurrection, " Straighten your baldric.

He played a Starfleet member in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode " The Siege of AR-558 " ( November 1998 ).

Caltech undergraduates have historically been so apathetic to politics that there has been only one organized student protest in January 1968 outside the Burbank studios of NBC, in response to rumors that NBC was to cancel Star Trek.
