<p>Alas, that is no longer true. Thanks to the intervention of
certain Klingonists, Klingon has appeared in decipherable writing
on <i>Star Trek: Discovery,</i> in the one-to-one phonemic
alphabet invented by another certain Klingonist. This alphabet is
directly translatable to our Latin-letter transcription. We are
stuck with this most boring of writing systems being on-screen
canon, at least for the <i>Discovery</i> Klingons, and no
explanation of why the in-universe compilers of <i>The Klingon
Dictionary</i> had such a hard time understanding it.<br>
