The Klingon Language is a constructed language created for the Star Trek franchise. Developed by linguist Marc Okrand, it was first introduced in the film "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" in 1984. The language features its own grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation rules, making it a fully functional means of communication. Klingon is known for its guttural sounds and unique sentence structure, which differs significantly from English. It has gained a following among fans, leading to the publication of dictionaries, language courses, and even translations of literary works, such as Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
