The language created for the "Star Trek" TV series and movies is one of 
about 55 needed by the office that treats mental health patients in 
metropolitan Multnomah County.

"We have to provide information in all the languages our clients speak," 
said Jerry Jelusich, a procurement specialist for the county Department of 
Human Services, which serves about 60,000 mental health clients.

Although created for works of fiction, Klingon was designed to have a 
consistent grammar, syntax and vocabulary.

And now Multnomah County research has found that many people -- and not 
just fans -- consider it a complete language.
