Where did Klingon come from?
The Klingon language wasn’t heard in The Original Series of Star Trek. There were a couple of lines of Klingon in the first motion picture that were actually created by James Doohan (Scotty)! By the second motion picture, more was needed. In this CLIP, Mark Okrand, chairman of the Washington Shakepeare Company’s board, discusses how he developed the Klingon language.
