Klingonaase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Klingonaase is a non-canon fictional language appearing in works by John M. Ford related to the science fiction series Star Trek, in which it is depicted as the language of the Klingon race.   The suffix -aase means "tool", so klingonaase is the tool (i.e. language) of the Klingons.

Klingonaase first appeared in 1984 in the tie-in novel The Final Reflection, which features a detailed view of Klingon society. It also appears in the Klingon supplement for the FASA Star Trek role-playing game of the 1980s, which is partly based on materials created for the novel.

Ford's version of the Klingon language has never been used in any canonical Star Trek work, though it has been suggested[1] that his sympathetic portrayal of Klingon culture influenced the later canonical depictions of honor-driven Klingons. Canonical Star Trek has developed a different version of Klingon culture, and uses the language tlhIngan Hol, which was independently created by professional linguist Marc Okrand for the Star Trek movies at around the same time.

Klingonaase continues to appear in fan fiction about Klingons, and is used by Klingon fan clubs in personal and club names, mottos, and statements of principle, often alongside tlhIngan Hol.[2]

The klingonaase terms here are taken from John M. Ford's The Final Reflection and from the Star Trek RPG, and the tlhIngan Hol terms from Marc Okrand's The Klingon Dictionary.
