More inline citations needed
This article has a sufficient number of citations to establish notability, but several paragraphs and sentences remain unsourced. Yueđ 01:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'd be happy to add those missing citations, but I don't know where those are needed. Please add the tag "Citation needed" so that I and other editors can provide the needed citation. -- Lieven (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Language Timing (Section 7.4)
The section describing the stresses in the language implies that Klingon's isochrony is not syllable-timed , but more probably stress-timed (there does not seem to be a mention of moras, or sub-syllabic phonological time units). Does anyone well-versed in Klingon know the answer to this so we can add it to the section? It would help in explaining pronunciation greatly. I have found nothing through online research that would definitively confirm that Klingon is stress-timed. Dane13 (talk) 00:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I am well-versed in Klingon and would like to answer, but I'm not sure it is possible after all. Indeed, the creator of the language never mentioned any of the terms you talk about, and on the other hand, everything we know is written in the page. So what exactly do you want to know? -- Lieven (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)
Finding source to verify why the Klingon Latin alphabet has capital letters
In November 2018, Marc Okrand told me in person that the reason why he designed the Klingon Latin alphabet to have capital letters was to denote sounds that are not natively found in American English. This was intended to help teach the Star Trek actors how to speak the Klingon language correctly. When actors saw capital letters denoted in the script, they had to pay special attention to them to ensure that they were correctly pronouncing phonemes that they were not natively accustomed to.
If anybody has a secondary source to verify this, this information should be cited in the article. Zero Contradictions (talk) 14:28, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
