I'd like to disagree on the Klingon front; its vocabulary is much too
limited to be useful as an auxlang, and the vocabulary canon has
traditionally been considered closed, with new coinages not being
licit.
(I suppose some kind of Neo-Klingon might be elaborated by a kind of
Klingon Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, but that would be a separate language.)
