Klingon is a constructed language spoken by a fictional warrior race of the same name in the Star Trek universe. It was created by linguist Marc Okrand and arrived on Duolingo in March 2018.
Keyboard layouts and input methods[]
The Duolingo Klingon for English speakers course uses the Latin letters present on English keyboards for all input in Klingon and no special layouts or input methods are needed. Alternate keyboards can sometimes make entry and capitalization easier, however.
