Grammatical markers: TOP = topic; PL = plural; PFV = perfective

Translation notes:

The verb “moH” in Klingon is a slang expression and means ‘to influence’ or ‘to exert undue influence on’ as stated in the book Klingon for the Galactic Traveler.

The name pa’ra’mon for “Paramount” is not canon. To the best of our knowledge, Klingon does not yet have a canon word for “Paramount”, however, the transliteration as pa’ra’mon follows the general phonetic and phonological rules for naming a foreign entity (eg. qIrk “Kirk” or qa’naDa’ “Canada”). This is used to show how Klingon is a complete grammatical system which can be understood, and used, by anyone willing to learn that system.

How to embed our Klingon statement on your page with Klingon font (“pIqaD”):

Add this to your CSS:

@font-face {
 font-family: 'KApIqaD';
 src: url('https://hol.kag.org/bs/css/fonts/kapiqad.eot');
 src: url('https://hol.kag.org/bs/css/fonts/kapiqad.woff') format('woff'),
 url('https://hol.kag.org/bs/css/fonts/kapiqad.ttf') format('truetype'),
 url('https://hol.kag.org/bs/css/fonts/kapiqad.svg') format('svg');
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
}
@font-face {
 font-family: 'pIqaD';
 src: url('https://hol.kag.org/bs/css/fonts/pIqaD.eot');

 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
}

.klingon {
  font-family: 'KApIqaD'
}
.klingon div,.klingon span,.klingon p {
  font-family: 'KApIqaD'
}

.klingon-unicode {
  font-family: 'pIqaD'
}
.klingon-unicode div,.klingon-unicode span,.klingon-unicode p {
  font-family: 'pIqaD'
}

Alternatively (and more reliably — that’s what we are doing), download this font pack, make it available on your website, and alter the URLs accordingly.

Put all Klingon in a separate <span>, <p>, or <div> with the klingon class, using either the Unicode or xifan methods.
