4. Klingon Language FAQ
==========================================================

In this FAQ basic information about the Klingon language (tlhIngan
Hol) and often asked questions are compiled. It is the FAQ of the
mailing list of the KLI. You can find the FAQ:
on WWW at
http://labs.thomtech.com/~dspeers/klingon/faq.htm
==========================================================
5. "Paramount Hol" FAQ
==========================================================
(by rmc...@pop.flash.net)
If you are interested in Klingon words seen on the Star Trek TV shows,
surf your way over to...
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/6559/parhol.html
.and take a look at the collection of "Paramount Hol." The casual
fan will most likely find the list interesting from a trivia point of
view. Serious students of tlhIngan Hol, on the other hand,
will probably find it amusing the way Paramount butchers Marc Okrand's
language for the shows!
For instance, why does Martok alwats say "mahk-cha" when he should say
yIchu'? The simple reason: nobody at Paramount has ever
bothered to use the language they were given at their own request by a
professsional linguist. Even when the writers do manage to crack open
their dusty Klingon Dictionaries, they use bad grammar and syntax.
Even Klingon beginners know that Klingon sentences go
OBJECT-VERB-SUBJECT, but the writers will continually try to
translate word-for-word, and tlhIngan Hol just doesn't
work that way!
==========================================================
6. Klingonaase FAQ
==========================================================
(by mIqIraH)
In this FAQ you find all the information about the classic (old)
Klingon language (klingonaase) John M. Ford mentioned in his
famous classic StarTrek books. You can find the FAQ:
on WWW at
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/6559/klingonaase.html
As this page does not longer seem to exist, I put a copy on our website
http://www.khemorex-klinzhai.de/Hol/klingonaase.html
==========================================================
7. Klingon Names
==========================================================
Often people come around asking "How do I choose a name?" and
"How do I say this name in Klingon?"
There is a section in the Klingon Language FAQ, but
there are additional resources for people who are interested in
receiving assistance with their Klingon names. You can see what names
other Klingons have chosen, register your own name, and get ideas
about how people choose a Klingon name. The resources are:

13. Spinoff
==========================================================
Thanks to all the Klingons making the fandom such a great place. These
are especially the ones supporting me constantly with their
information.
DISCLAIMER! I know that everything even REMOTELY concerning
STAR TREK is the sole, exclusive and stingily held property of
Paramount. No infringement of those rights is even thought about.
But... this list is mine, not Paramount {{;-)
Distribute and contribute!
