Thanks for that nice story, indeed I have heard about that too - and I 
never knew it was fake, even though I somehow felt that it cannot be 
true. You can never trust these kind of stories ;-)

But it still was something else that I remembered, and I don't know 
where I read about it. I do know that tlh is the official code liste in 
ISO 639 right here:
[http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/documentation.asp?id=tlh]

And somehow I remember reading in an article, a serious one, that 
Klingon might be listed or mentioned or accepted somewhere by the MLA, 
which seems to be an important agency for this kind of issues.

Actually, I'm just doing some research for myself about the Klingon 
language, trying to find out how "official" it really is.

By the way, according to wikipedia, Lawrence M. Schoen once guessed the 
number of fluent speakers at 12 worldwide, but it was in 1996. Are there 
new, or better numbers?? If there is, wikipedia needs a reference.
