qatlho'qu'! This was very helpful! Also, I didn't realize that pIqaD wasn't official ST canon until Discovery; that's so wonderful that the work of the KLI has become part of the show!
woah I didnt realize how handsome klingon teacher was until i saw him dressed normal. Ive only ever seen him in klingon attire until now. Looks completely different . thank you for the video !
The Discovery font would work great for carving into stone because of the simple strokes. The older font would work great for calligraphy when painted with a brush. But, I feel the truth of the matter is somewhere in between.
I love the fact that Picard literally means "I challenge you" to Klingon ears. No wonder the Klingons have a passing respect for our favourite Captain.
I got an amazing app called "write Klingon" - I learned to read and write pIqaD (slowly!) in about a week, and it really helped me with learning the language in general because it helped me think of things like "tlh" as a single letter. I strongly recommend learning to write Klingon if you're leaning to speak it 👍 thankyou for the great video :-D majqu'
@@Sadyst0 Don't know if this is the same app or not, but: iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/write-it-klingon/id1400945143 Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jernung.writeit.tlh&hl=en
The Write Klingon App uses what appears to be the HaSta font, which is different from the KLI pIqaD font, which is apparently now considered canon. For comparison of fonts see: skm.zoomquiet.top/data/20160607201910/index.html. The most different are I, o, Q and tlh, with some differences in n, ng, p, and r. The rest are similar enough or essentially the same. Unfortunately I found this video AFTER already getting good with the Write Klingon App, so now I feel like I have to unlearn several letters. I will post this to the Write Klingon App review as well; maybe they can modify the App to use canon pIqaD font, because the App definitely made it fast and easy to learn.
Thanks for this intensive refresher in a time when infectious nano-Tribbles phasered away on this planet's qepmey! ✊❤️ If I was 80s Paramount, I would nag that teaching it this way is not "alien enough", but I like it ☺️
Hm, now listening to it after so many years, I agree, it sounds bit like t-o-h, but even any beginner of Klingon will know what I'm talking about. I hope you're not said too long. :)
For the letter e, could you do it in one motion by starting upwards from the bottom left and then going right, versus starting at the top left and having to pick up your writing utensil?
At ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WkBEjU_5qSc.html there is a glance at a very nice sheet that shows the letters with instructions on drawing them. Why not link to it? (I realize the video does the same, but it looks like a good cheat sheet.)
