<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="black" face="Tahoma"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Shared this on the Facebook group a while back, but for those of you who aren't on it:<br>
<br>
There's a video on vimeo featuring Vincent from the publishing house behind paq'batlh. In it he presents a speech, which may or may not have been written by Okrand. [He seems a likely candidate, as they cooperated on the presentation. bISov'a', Quvar?]<br>
<br>
Here's what I've been able to piece together from seeing parts of the script in the video, and from listening to what he says:<br>
<br>
tlhInganpu' quv -<br>
tlhIHvaD paq chu' wImuch 'e' bochaw'mo' chequvmoH 'ej chebelmoH.<br>
lut'a'raj Dun laDlaHmeH tera'ngan,<br>

lIbelmoH paqvam 'e' vItul.<br>
DaH DIvI' Hol vIjatlhchoH.<br>
'oy' HughwIj.<br>
<br>
For reference, here is the most relevant portion of his subsequent English speech:<br>
<br>
Dear Klingons,<br>
It is a great honor and pleasure that you have allowed us to present you with the first Terran edition of your glorious epic, the paq'batlh.<br>
The editors and I hope to have respected your rich culture and tradition, and we hope that you will be pleased with the results (which I brought with me).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
