Product Description The Klingon Dictionary is the first comprehensive sourcebook for Klingon language and syntax, including fundamental rules of grammar as well as words and expressions that illustrate the complex nature of Klingon culture. It features a precise pronunciation guide, rules for proper use of affixes and suffixes, and a small phrasebook with Klingon translations for essential expressions such as "Activate the transport beam," "Always trust your instincts," and the ever-popular "Surrender or die!"
Good reference for the Star Trek linguistFebruary 28, 2010 N. Krishnan This book is probably the one reference you will need to start learning Klingon. Despite the name, it is not simply a dictionary of Klingon words, but also a grammatical reference for the beginner to tlhIngan Hol. It starts off by addressing the different characters, or rather sounds in the Klingon language. Then it covers the three types of words in Klingon - nouns, verbs and other words - along with prefixes and suffixes which denote what the subject and/or object are. This book also covers, albeit briefly, clipped Klingon, which, in a nutshell, is basically a shortened form of Klingon that is not quite grammatically perfect, but it's still Klingon.
Finally, this book also includes a list of common Klingon words and their English translations, as well as a list from English to Klingon, not to mention, a list of common Klingon phrases, their English translations, and a pronounciation guide.

Interesting, but not what I thought it wasMay 4, 2009 snake plisken(Jacksonville, TX USA) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought it after learning about the author's work with constructing this artificial language and as a fan of Star Trek. The words given are often esoteric, and I was looking for more of something like a "Spanish - English dictionary". I will have to check out the "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" for that I guess.
Qa'pla!March 30, 2009 Douglas Crawshaw Jr.(Ottawa, KS) Even though Klingon is a fictional language, this book has so much information, it could also be compared to a real language. Actualy...I think Klingon is starting to become a "real" language, as more and more people can speak it fluently! Probably thanks to this! Anyway, it's an awesome book that can also be considered a "reference" book!
Extreme deviation from the seriesMay 16, 2008 Troyce Wilson(Texas) 1 out of 25 found this review helpful
The author is a professional linguist, and as such he thinks he knows better than the tv series. So he's totally recreated the Klingon language to fit what HE thinks it should be. No hard K's, they are a linguistic cliche, so we have all kinds of strange Q's being used, and linguistic revisionism to tell us that they really aren't called Klingons, etc. So for someone wanting a guide to the Klingon language as shown in the original (and best) series, this is an extreme disappointment. If you want to invent your own language, fine, but don't mess with someone else's creation if you don't respect it.
