Somebody should come up with something based on "what could have
really evolved in such an environment and history."  The Krellan
language from the old Star Fleet games had a really cool script that
looked like it was hieroglyphic.  Unfortunately, it was really more
for appearance than anything else, and all the minor Krellan ship
names were obviously random letter generated - so there was, as far
as I know, no really developed language for the Krellans.  When I
was *VERY* young, and before I had ever even heard of the Klingon
language, I had started making one up with my own hieroglyphs
inspired by the games.  If I were in to that kinda stuff now I might
would try something.

Cheers,
