Klingon: The Evolution of a Created Language

A Talk by Marc Okrand, Creator of the Klingon Language

Thursday, March 20, 2014 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM EDT
Tier III

The Klingon language, which began as a few lines of dialogue in the first Star Trek movie, has grown to be what the Guinness Book of World Records once dubbed the world’s “largest fictional language.” This talk will review the origins of the language, why its grammar and vocabulary developed the way they did, and how it fares in the “real world.”
