When Pig Latin isn’t enough, geeks turn to the popular alien language Klingon.  And thanks to its creator Marc Okrand, we have an entire dictionary dedicated to teaching us how to speak it.  Okrand, a linguistics professor at University of California, Santa Barbara, published the Klingon Dictionary in 1985.  He had been hired by Paramount Pictures to help create the language and teach the actors for the various Star Trek movies and series.  He even had a hand in developing the Vulcan language.  With the Klingon Dictionary in hand, geeks around the world have a common language and a sign for who are the truly devoted.
