The Little Prince
by Lieven L. Litaer 09 Aug '18

09 Aug '18

Hello my dear friends, some may have heard about it, others read about it or mentioned it... Now I am proud to finally announce this officially to all of you: I have completed my Klingon translation of The Little Prince! I had started this so many years ago and had almost forgotten about it, but when the new rush of Klingon came and we learned lots of new useful words, I restarted my work until it was suddenly completed. It was hard finding a publisher, but eventually, it all worked. At this time, the book will be Klingon/German only, but I'm planning on publishing the English version as well. To get a quick insight into the book, I've made a short video with my seven year old daughter playing the little Prince - of course including Klingon subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9NSj6jXOwE Watch and enjoy! -- Lieven L.

A video of my three-year-old son Zachary (the blond) and his friend Mikey (the brunette) randomly deciding to learn a Klingon word, for no good reason, when I wasn't even around. I told my wife the word and texted her a link to its pronunciation, and this is what I got back. Zach said it /perfectly. /I did not teach him how to pronounce the *tlh.* // https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnjsmG7VC3wSo58jDiIi3Q4hEX3KTQ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Klingon in an old issue of Previews
by Russ Perry Jr. 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

I was going through some old issues of Previews, a catalog of comic books, etc, that Diamond Comic Distributors puts out every month so people can see what they want to order from their local comic book shops. In the November 2015 issue, page 139, was IDW Comics' "IDW January Checklist", and to the left was a column featuring a cartoon/ caricature of D'irk W'ood, "Lt. of Marketing", with the following word bubbles (note: written in comic book style all caps, despite case being important to Klingon): [1] DIS CHU' DATIVJAJ HOCH! 'E' LATLH TIN WA' IDW 'E' LAY'! QASTAH LOT CHONAYTA' 'EJ JANUARY NEH 'OH.... [2] WA'DICH PAQDI'NORGH LUCHENMOHMEH HOCH, DIS 50TH ANNIVERSARY HOV TREK! VAJ NEJ LOT QAS LATER DIS. 'ACH WA'DICH, HA' VIGHEL PUS JANUARY PAQ. STARTING GHAH. !? JEM HURGH ** TRANSLATED FROM KLINGON: HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! THIS PROMISES TO BE ANOTHER BIG ONE FOR IDW! A LOT IS HAPPENING ALREADY, AND THIS IS ONLY JANUARY. FIRST OF ALL, THIS YEAR IS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF STAR TREK! SO, LOOK FOR A LOT HAPPENING ALL YEAR LONG! BUT FIRST, LET'S TALK ABOUT A FEW OF OUR JANUARY BOOKS. STARING WITH... DARK JEM!? Clearly, they weren't trying very hard at all, like how they didn't notice that "LOT" didn't translate and just came straight through, heck even "TREK" didn't translate? Still, presented here for completeness' sake. -- //*==================================================================++ || Russ Perry Jr 2175 S Tonne Dr #114 Arlington Heights IL 60005 || || 847-952-9729 VIDEOGAME COLLECTOR! russperryjr(a)sbcglobal.net || ++==================================================================*//

2018 qep'a' Proverb Contest
by Alan Anderson 06 Aug '18

06 Aug '18

2018 is the 25th anniversary of the Power Klingon audiobook by Marc Okrand and Barry Levine. In it we learned about Replacement Proverbs ("to replace lost respect with newly earned respect after one has been embarrassed in a public setting") and Secrecy Proverbs ("used in situations where you want to show that you can keep a secret under *any* conditions"). Several years ago, KLI members helped to discover a previously unknown Replacement Proverb (jagh yIbuStaH! "Focus on the enemy!") and Secrecy Proverb ('Iw HIq yap tu'lu'be'. "Sufficient bloodwine does not exist."). In conjunction with the Klingon Language Institute's qep'a' cha'maH vaghDIch, we are holding a competition to seek more proverbs. Each member of the KLI (paid or guest) is eligible to submit either a Replacement Proverb or a Secrecy Proverb. Those who have purchased a Supporting Membership to the qep'a' may submit both a Replacement Proverb and a Secrecy Proverb. Attending Members are allowed to submit two of each type, for a total of four proverbs. Entries may be saved and revised at any time until the contest closes June 25. The submissions will then be anonymously reviewed by a panel of experts, and a list of the best candidate proverbs will be given to Marc Okrand. He will announce a new Replacement Proverb and a new Secrecy Proverb at the qep'a' in July. Full contest rules, and a link to the submission page, are at https://www.kli.org/proverb_contest/rules/ -- Alan
