Marc Okrand is the linguist who created Klingon in 1980! Amazingly, Klingon is a complete language that can be spoken fluently by fans. Okrand has a PhD in linguistics and a love for creating. For the 3rd film Leonard Nimoy wanted the Klingon language to sound authentic so he hired Okrand to create it.
