[Tlhingan-hol] "Star Trek Into Darkness (OST) 06 -" spoiler

[Tim Stoffel]

It is fairly normal practice for choirs in films to sing 'nonsense
syllables' that sound like the language in question. They did this in
'Avatar' and many people spent a long time trying to decipher the
phrases until we found out from the producer they they were nonsense
syllables. So, if they are using real Klingon words here, that would
indeed be unusual. I will definitely listen for this when I see the film
again this coming weekend.

I saw an interview with Michael Giacchino. The chorus is indeed
supposed to be repeating two or three allegedly real Klingon phrases.
He described them as "Klingon insults". I believe the last one is {HoS
lI' Dalo'Ha'chu'} (very badly pronounced), but I couldn't catch the
other(s).
