I'm not seeing any image of an Israeli flag, nor any link to one, in the External links section or anywhere else in the article. Please be more specific. General Ization ^Talk 22:04, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is the result of template vandalism. I've purged the page cache so it should be fixed now. Nardog (talk) 22:44, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More inline citations needed

This article has a sufficient number of citations to establish notability, but several paragraphs and sentences remain unsourced. Yue🌙 01:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be happy to add those missing citations, but I don't know where those are needed. Please add the tag "Citation needed" so that I and other editors can provide the needed citation. -- Lieven (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Language Timing (Section 7.4)

The section describing the stresses in the language implies that Klingon's isochrony is not syllable-timed , but more probably stress-timed (there does not seem to be a mention of moras, or sub-syllabic phonological time units). Does anyone well-versed in Klingon know the answer to this so we can add it to the section? It would help in explaining pronunciation greatly. I have found nothing through online research that would definitively confirm that Klingon is stress-timed. Dane13 (talk) 00:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am well-versed in Klingon and would like to answer, but I'm not sure it is possible after all. Indeed, the creator of the language never mentioned any of the terms you talk about, and on the other hand, everything we know is written in the page. So what exactly do you want to know? -- Lieven (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
