I would not regard this tape as being any official dialect, not even a 
canon example of Klingon. SuStel wrote it in a very polite way, but I 
would just say that this audio book version of TKW is really, really 
bad. I listened once to it, and stopped halfway because it hurt my ears. 
Beginners of Klingon should actually never listen to that, because it's 
just bad Klingon.

This information is included in the German version, but I'll add that to 
the wiki immediately right here:
