Or if you want vocal languages, learn Haitian. Or Hopi! Or Hawai'ian! Or Maori! Or Malay! Or Swahili! Or Tagalog! Or hell, Nahuatl, or Korean, or Hindi, or Tamil, or Vietnamese! Each of these is as interestingly non-European as Klingon is, each in its own way. Each of these languages has a real, huge, imaginative lit

Lately I'm telling people: if you have an itch to learn a language, go learn American Sign Language. It's good and good for you! Really, it switches on whole new parts of your brain.

The best of these languages, and the worst about Klingon, is that they have a real native user base. Well... until an actual Klingon population gets discovered.
