<p>Here's a little tidbit I hadn't heard before. Jon Povill writes:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Actually, the phrases for the opening scenes of ST-TMP were
created by Jimmy Doohan and me -- in my office at Paramount. We
did them together. I was the associate producer of the movie. It
was a fun session and it did not, in truth, take us very long
(as I remember).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>and also:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Truth be told I'd forgotten about it myself until I went
through a box of memos and stuff from the movie and discovered
the list of phases we'd put together and realized "Holy shit! I
did that!" It's so bizarre in retrospect to see the Klingon
language everywhere. "Big Bang Theory" uses it constantly. Jimmy
and I also did some work on the Vulcan language for the movie,
though we were greatly augmented in that by Hartmert Sharph (I
am probably spelling his name completely wrong). We were going
guttural and Germanic for Klingon, Sanskrit for Vulcan. I took
French and Spanish in high school and college and barely passed
-- so I was a strange guy for the task. It just kinda fell to us
in the course of the production.</p>
