Fort Pontchartrain du Détroit</a> was originally a French fort founded in 1701. <br>

Or not wanting to add an extra vowel he could also have simply dropped the final consonant, such as {'entepray'} Enterprise, {lIHtentay’} Liechtenstein and {‘oSteray’} Österreich. He routinely does this with Terran names ending in –land: {DoyIchlan} Deutschland,
{ne'Derlan} Netherlands, {'Inglan} England, {<a href="http://www.klingonwiki.net/bin/view/Word/SIkotlan" title="Create this topic">SIqotlan</a>} Scotland, {nu'SIylan} New Zealand and {‘ISlan} Iceland.<br>

<p>The final <i>t</i> in <i>Detroit</i> is not aspirated the way a Klingon <i>t</i> always is. A glottal stop is actually closer in sound to the unaspirated

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Aspiration doesn't seem to play much of a role in transliterations. In the case of "Detroit", you can't just transliterate the final syllable as
<b>-oyt</b>, because -<b>oyt</b> isn't an allowed syllable ending in Klingon phonotactics. Sometimes, Okrand deals with this (consonant after diphthong) by adding another syllable: "Deutsch" (in "Deutschland") ->
<b>*Doych</b> -> <b>DoyIch</b>. But in this case, since <b>'</b> is similar to "t", and
<b>-oy'</b> is an allowed Klingon syllable ending, you can just do that.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
