I thought Vulcan was invented for one of the early Star Trek movies. I
distinctlyremember Leonard Nimoy speaking Vulcan with subtitles to the
Vulcan first officer
(her name escapes me). If that were at all developed, you'd think it
would get as
great a fan following as Klingon. But I imagine that its development
would be
difficult. This would have to be a truly logical language. Perhaps some
of the makers
of Lojban might contribute to this project--if it were allowed.
Paramount can be very
touchy about their rights to materials. I know that from experience.

this, because they have a deadline, and yet their ^*&%$ machines are
down.)
