Since this writing system was intended only as a pronunciation guide for the actors, Okrand did not devise a system for numbers or punctuation.īefore The Klingon Dictionary was published, this Okrandian spelling had already been used to coach the actors. An article is being prepared for the " Klingon Encyclopedia" which will explain the details of pIqaD. Instead, a transcription system based on the English alphabet has been devised. This writing system is not yet well understood and is, therefore, not used in this dictionary. There is a native writing system for Klingon (called pIqaD) which seems to be well suited to the various dialects. Okrand explains as follows in the introduction of The Klingon Dictionary: This term itself is not canon but has become common usage among klingonists. The Okrandian notation (or Okrandian spelling) is the way of transcribing the sounds of the Klingon language as invented and used by Marc Okrand in The Klingon Dictionary.
