Could it be this sentence from KLI.org?

"HolQeD is an academic journal utilizing blind peer review, registered with the Library of Congress, and catalogued by the Modern Language Association."

http://www.kli.org/kli/

Also, there's an article on MLA.org that claims "the MLA Bibliography listed American Sign Language as an invented language in the same category as Klingon".

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.
