Klingon is an artificial language originally created for the television and motion-picture series Star Trek. It represents one of the rare times when a trained linguist has been called upon to create a language for a fictional culture. Klingon was invented by Marc Okrand, who is recognized as the true authority on the language. It is propagated primarily by the Klingon Language Institute and its members. It is probably the most commonly spoken fictional language in existence.
