Klingon 101: Learn the Language of Star Trek’s Intergalactic Warriors

NuqneH!

Spanning 55 years, multiple TV show spinoffs, and 13 feature films, the Star Trek franchise is one of the most iconic pop culture centrepieces of the past half century. Imagine going to a Comic Con or fan convention without rubbing elbows (or bat’leths) with a full fleet of devout Star Trek fanatics – or as they’re much more lovingly referred to, “Trekkies”. 

The popularity of Star Trek shows and movies have seen their ebbs and flows, but there is no denying their impact on the cult comic and pop-culture landscape. Seeing a resurgence in recent years as the franchise was regularly referenced on the former No. 1 sitcom on the planet, The Big Bang Theory, Trekkies and Star Trek fandom as a whole are once again on the rise.

More specifically, the famous foursome of nerds consisting of Leonard, Sheldon, Raj, and Howard regularly spoke in the dialect of the Klingon Empire during Big Bang’s impressive run of dominating the airwaves for 12 seasons. Can you get any more Trekkie than speaking in this energetic and expressive language of warriors? GHOBE! 

That’s where Cudoo comes in. With our online Klingon language course, anyone can learn the language of the Klingon Empire!

Created as a made-up language for the film Star Trek III: The Search For Spock in 1984 by American linguist Marc Okrand, Klingon has grown into one of the more famous sci-fi-related languages in the history of space and sci-fi film and TV.

Originally on the show, Klingon characters used guttural sounds or even plain English before Okrand developed the full-fledged language that expanded to a dictionary of over 5,000 words. Warp speed  your Klingon journey today and mind meld with an exclusive club of Trekkies who can converse in their favourite shows’ own language.
