Can we use punctuation when writing Klingon?
( charghwI’ , Mon, 28 Oct 1996 ) Punctuation is the least documented written language convention for Klingon. We have enough of it in Okrandian canon to know that we can use it, but not enough to know how to punctuate quotations. We basically have to make it up ourselves. Lots of us prefer <> to “quote” because it doesn’t become confusing with the glottal stop. Beyond that (and even including that) we don’t have much agreement. Updated March 21, 1999 Over time, we have generally settled on these practices on the mailing list, not as a matter of policy, but as a convention. Posts are not strictly held to the conventions shown here, but if you use this system you will be more readily understood.
