    ... well, is there any canon for klingon dialects? (as a matter of fact the diversity in terran languages is called 'special' in at least one ent-book.
    ... and why start those who look strange to talk strange as well now.

    ... i hate to hand ammunition to the reboot-folks

    IIRC Okrand and others handwaved the mispronounciations away by stating that different languages exist.
    Other than that, of course, is the fact that living languages evolve and change. We don't speak the same way our grand-grandfathers spoke. we use different words or give them different meanings, we adopt words from other languages and make them our own, and we pronounce words a different way they were pronounced 200 years ago.
    So it is not unusual to see different pronounciations of Klingon words in the 23rd century and in the 24th

    I think Klingons were big into Sean Connery in that decade. ;)

    I never thought to ask, but is this actually, factual Klingonese in Discovery?

    hard to say - as nobody ever actually or factually met a klingon it's probably not more than a rather well conducted approach to their language

    I remember an episode of 'Fraiser' where he spoke Klingon because he thought it was Hebrew.

    it certainly is the same language that those filthy Hoomans try to sell as Klingonese with their fake backwards translations of the Gilgamesh epos or Shakespeare

    It is clearly the idiotic SJW's who are finally getting around the showing the world that the Klingon race and its language have been culuturally appropriated by filthy human actors and writers who have been intentionally mispronouncing the words for over 50 years. Clearly, such a blatant disregard for the poor maligned Klingons for far too long.

    And for anyone who actually thinks I'm serious about that paragraph, I have a bridge available for sale in Kansas.

    More than that, it is ridiculous to expect a language, culture or species to be static.

    The actors seem to take their Klingon seriously based on what I've seen on After Trek. I assume it Okrund's version.
    Kansesh. Glory to his house.

    Names can have more than 1 pronunciation. When I talk about the king of the Netherlands in Dutch, I say 'Willem Alegzander', when I do it in english, I might just as easily say 'William Alexander'.

    And that's on top of the obvious issues regarding possible klingon dialects and simple pronunciation changes over time (100 years is nothing to sneeze at).

    1. He isn't saying "Kahlesh"
    (he is trying to say "Kahless")
    2. Klingon is not a real language(Nope! Don't even!)
    3. Klingon words depend on what's been shown on screen. Seriously, what does Bagh Da tuHmoh ChojaH Duh rHo mean? They are made up words.
    4. If you say, "finally, they say Kahless correctly," and then say "There are obviously differing dialects," that is a contradiction.

    ...considering that MU Sarek is part of the rebellion against the Empire [how very Star Wars-ish], what's the deal with MU Spock? Unless I'm missing something from TOS...

    Explain.

    Terran Empire predates Star Wars. How very Trek :)
    and while MU Spock doesn't speak of Sarek, he himself takes over and reforms the empire, eventually.

    I don't know about contradictions but there is an established Klingon lanaguage, a constructed language but in that regard no different than Esperanto, Ido or others, and much more developed than the elvish languages in Lord of the Rings.
    Anyway, to hear how the sound would

    He rebelled against Sarek - again - to work for the Empire. When does Spock ever do what Sarek wants?
