There were also a few lines of Vulcan (presumably) in the first Star Trek
movie, when Spock was on Vulcan. That scene also seemed like overdubbed
English to me, unlike the Klingon from Star Trek III, which was clearly
un-English in structure. (And according to the novelization, by the way,
Saavik was half-Romulan.)
