A few years ago I saw a Klingon dictionary.

LOL. I just found a site for everyday Klingon phrases, and apparently Hab SoSlI’ Quch! (Your mother has a smooth forehead!) is a major insult.

Just wondering… why doesn’t Klingon have its own writing system? Are you telling me that both humans and Klingons developed the Roman alphabet convergently?

How do you say I hate my boss and co workers in Klingon?

I think the Klingons had their own writing system it was in Star Trek 2 – 3

I’ll see your Klingon dictionary and raise you this. Once, at my local library, I saw a complete copy of Romeo and Juliet, translated into Klingon. With Klingon actors on the front too. Brilliant.

To answer some of the other questions:

pInwI’ vImuS. yaHwIj vumwI’ latlh vImuS.
I hate my boss. I hate my jobs other workers.

Klingon has it’s own writing system. It’s called pIqaD and it’s not very easy to write, so most people use the romanized system from the dictionary.

There is NO Klingon translation of Romeo and Juliet. There are translation of Hamlet and Much ado about nothing. So you probably saw one of those.

Any more questions? HIyu’!

Oh, gurgh, you may be right. It might have been Hamlet. It was Shakespeare for sure!
