Do you want to speak the Klingon Language?


Do you sometimes wish that you could speak confidentially to your
friends or your mate while in the presence of humans? At parties, do
you ever wish you could impress your date with a language ability that
shows *real* culture? Do you find yourself in combat situations where
giving short but meaningful commands could mean the difference between
victory and death?

Then Klingon is the language for you!

Announcing the creation of the first mailing list that caters
specifically to people who are trying to learn the Klingon language.
In this free-wheeling mailing list, you'll find plenty of people with
whom you can practice your Klingon language skills. Discussions will
include Klingon spelling and grammar, history, politics, strategy, and
effective battle management for fleet engagements of any size. In
fact, messages can cover just about anything, so long as they're in
Klingon. The main point is to learn to use the language.

What is the Klingon language? Why the language of the Klingon Empire,
of course. The recognized syntax, spelling, and vocabulary of the
Klingon language are defined by _The Klingon Dictionary_, by Mark
Okrand. Mr. Okrand developed the Klingon language for use in _Star
Trek III: The Search For Spock_. Ever since then, the language he
developed has been used whenever Klingon dialogue is required in the
Star Trek movies and in _Star Trek: The Next Generation_.

Beginners and experts, young and old, bumpy foreheads and smooth ones
too: everyone is welcome! If you want to learn the Klingon language,
this is your chance.

To sign up for this exciting new mailing list, send mail to
<tlhIngan-H...@village.boston.ma.us>. When I add you to the
mailing list, I'll send you a message that tells you how to post and
what guidelines you should follow.

Do it today!
