Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: This is a splendid source of Klingon language dictionary.

This book deserves the title of Klingon Dictionary. It will help you learn how to speak Klingon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun book!
Review: This was a great book for budding linguists! I was a linguistics major at university when I bought this, studying AI among other things. I attempted to get a course created that studied how a 'constructed' language like Klingon, (which a practicing linguist designed!) would work, and how it was designed. We had a professor interested, and at least a dozen senior students, but couldn't get the department head to sign off on the idea, (she was very conservative, and couldn't see the sense in studying a non-natural language, even if it was built using natural-language principals!) Too bad, though, as it could have been really interesting. Anyway, the book is well put together, and as I mentioned, the language was designed around sound linguistic principals as a potentially 'real' language.

Summary: Entertaining challenge for linguophiles
Review: Though the insistence that there really are Klingons might be off-putting to some linguophiles, the work put into developing this OVS artlang justifies a read of the book. Like many initial grammars, there are words and issues of syntax which are overlooked. Yet, the material in this book renders the language usable, especially when coupled with Klingon for the Galactic Traveler (also by Marc Orkand), and can be an entertaining challenge.

Rating: 4 stars
