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 unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation, making it distinct from natural languages. Klingon is designed to reflect the culture and values of the Klingon species, known for their warrior ethos. It has gained popularity among fans, leading to the publication of dictionaries, language courses, and even translations of literary works, such as Shakespeare's "Hamlet."
