bukvoedWith the birth of his son 15 years ago, dedicated linguist d’Armond Speers embarked on the ultimate experiment: He spoke to him only in Klingon — the language of the alien race of “Star Trek” fame — for the first three years of his life.
“I was interested in the question of whether my son, going through his first language acquisition process, would acquire it like any human language,” Speers said. “He was definitely starting to learn it.”
So when Ultralingua, a dictionary, translation and grammar software company in Dinkytown, honored requests from customers to create applications for a Klingon dictionary, they turned to Speers, a self-employed software consultant.
...
As for Speers, who still gets nostalgic when he recalls singing the Klingon lullaby “May the Empire Endure” with his son at bedtime, the experiment was a dud. His son is now in high school and doesn’t speak a word of Klingon.
Although some of the things he’s done lead people to believe he’s a “Star Trek” fanatic, Speers said it’s actually a passion for language that attracts him to Klingon.
“I don’t go to ‘Star Trek’ conventions, I don’t wear the fake forehead,” he said. “I’m a linguist.”

(May the empire endure, and may our emperor endure
We serve him, so that he may honor us
Our empire is wonderful, and if anyone disagrees,
We will crush them beneath our boots!)

Notes on Israel
Date: 2010-03-14 10:36 am (UTC)Greetings from Australia.
My name is Bill Woerlee and I am the Director of the Australian Light Horse Studies Centre, http://alh-research.tripod.com/Light_Horse/ . I came across your journal because you have linked to the site. I was marveling at your wonderful pictures and descriptions of places you have visited - many of which were also visited by the Light Horse in 1917 and 1918. I am wondering if it is possible for you to share these insights and thoughts as contributions to the Australian Light Horse Studies Centre website?
You may contact me at the following address:

I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers
