Inom universum är Klingon ett konstruerat språk?

I universum är Klingonspråk ett som utvecklats naturligt på Klingons hemvärld;

Det finns olika konton inom Enterprise och TNG av " ancient Klingon " och "medieval Klingon ", vilket föreslår en språklig tradition som går tillbaka i tiotusentals år och att förra datum inspelade och skriven historia ...

TARQUIN: Have you had a chance to look at the book I gave you?

TARQUIN: What did you think of it?

Mark Okrand, skaparen av Klingon-språket erbjöd en potthistoria om utvecklingen av det (nu förenade) singelspråket i hans Klingon för den galaktiska resenären :

"The current linguistic situation in the Klingon Empire is a rather complex one that can be somewhat better understood in the light of a bit of history. Klingon mythology holds that over 1,500 years ago, Kahless the Unforgettable actually created the Klingon Empire by overthrowing the tyrant Molor. [...] Before Kahless united them, however, the peoples of Kronos, the Klingon Homeworld, consisted of disparate groups [...], with different customs and sometimes different languages. As the Empire expanded, as other planets were [...] conquered or incorporated, an even greater number of distinct cultures and languages became part of the overall mix"

"In terms of language, there are regions within the Empire where the ancestral languages are still spoken, though in a somewhat changed form. In short, within the Empire there are several languages, and the major languages (that is, those with the most speakers) are spoken in a number of versions or dialects.

The official language of the Klingon Empire, the language used for all official purposes, descended from that spoken by Kahless (and, for that matter, also by Molor)."
