Klingon in Picard [spoiler-warning]
by Lieven L. Litaer 27 Apr '23

27 Apr '23

This might contain spoilers. As the third season has been aired now, I think it's okay to write about it. I just started watching and have only seen the first episode so far. During that first episode, when Rafi arrives on a bar on M'talas Prime (obviously named after showrunner Terry Matalas - duh), one can see some Klingon letters very shortly and in low quality. Nevertheless, they are clear to read. The first line has the letters {(e)y tISoQ}, the second ends with {mat}, perhabs preceded by an apostrophe, which would make sense being the word {'o'mat}. Does anyone have any information about who made this, or what it is supposed to mean? I would believe that the first word is a translation of "close the..." and it's clear that the suffix {-moH} is missing there, so it's possible that a non-expert made this using the dictionary and misused the word {SoQ}; Or they wanted to say "be closed" but then the prefix is wrong. Unfortunately, the end credits do not mention any names I know of, nor any Klingon language supervisor. -- Lieven L.

At the time, we sort-of-confirmed the number of "20-30" people who could carry out a conversation in Klingon. (We didn't really prove it, but we weren't really able to prove there were more, and the range seems in the ballpark.) Since then, though, I've had several more conversations with people who learned Klingon through Duolingo. I wonder, then, should the number of people who can converse in Klingon be revised to a much higher range? Have others also had conversations with people who learned Klingon through Duolingo, or other means? (Aside: An interesting observation is that Duolingo speakers have a dialect: because arbitrary vocabulary choices were made in Duolingo where there are equally valid ways to say something, Duolingo speakers will use the words and grammar favoured by the course.) OTOH, maybe some speakers who were included in the original 20-30 count have dropped out of their interest in Klingon and can't hold a conversation any more. -- De'vID
