When Welsh Assembly Member Darren Millar asked Economy Minister Edwina Hart about unidentified flying objects, he got a surprising answer.
The official response from the Welsh Government was, “jang vIDa je due luq. ‘ach ghotvam’e’ QI’yaH-devolved qaS,” which, in the language of the Klingon Empire, translates as “The minister will reply in due course, however this is a non-devolved matter.”
This appears to be the first official government communication (on this planet, anyway) in the Klingon language. Although it is an extraterrestrial language, it isn’t exactly unknown. Even the Bible has been translated into Klingon.
Since the Welsh language is basically indecipherable to most people, however, we suspect few people even noticed that an alien language was used.
