The Klingon Way 1996
The Klingon Way: A Warrior's Guide (Klingon: tlhIngan tIgh: SuvwI' DevmeH paq) is a 1996 novel written by Marc Okrand and released by Pocket Books. This book contains a set of proverbs and phrases in the constructed Klingon language, which is associated with the fictional Star Trek universe's Klingon species and their culture. The linguist Okrand started developing this language during 1980s, when he was asked to create Klingon speech for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. He later published The Klingon Dictionary. The Klingon Way added more vocabulary to the language and was succeeded by Klingon for the Galactic Traveler.
A version of The Klingon Way in audio format, with voices from Michael Dorn and Roxann Dawson, was made by Simon & Schuster Audio. The Klingon Language Institute regards this book as an official source for the Klingon language. Together with Okrand’s other works on the topic, it has become very significant within a part of the Star Trek fan community.
