You're invited to attend a
qepHom, an informal gathering of Klingon
enthusiasts. Whether you're a complete beginner to the language or have
been studying on your own for years, we'd like to have you join us. Hear
the sounds of the warrior tongue spoken outloud, practice Klingon
conversation, proverbs, and curse warfare, improve your alien
pronunciation. This qepHom is
being hosted by a member of the Klingon Language Institute, but is open to
anyone interested in learning more about Klingon; membership in the KLI is
not a requirement, and there is no charge for attending. If you're ready
to show us your heart, if the spirit of Kahless is within you, or if you'd
just like to meet people who speak Klingon, here's what you need to
know: |

The KLI is a nonprofit organization
made up of more than 1200 people, dedicated to studying the Klingon
language and providing a common forum for its speakers. The KLI publishes
a quarterly academic journal, HolQeD,
containing articles and round table discussions of the language, as well
as jatmey,
our annual literary supplement of original poetry and fiction written in
Klingon. We provide a free postal course to assist in studying the
language, and members can participate in various projects, including our
translation efforts which last year produced Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (The Restored Klingon
Version) and this year ghIlghameS (Gilgamesh). And each summer we
hold the qep'a'
, a five-day Klingon
language conference where Klingon speakers from around the world gather
and converse. To learn more about the KLI send us a self-addressed stamped
envelope or visit our site on the world wide web. Maybe its time you found
out for yourself why Klingon is the galaxys' fastest growing
language. |
