An audiobook version of The Klingon Way, featuring the voices of Michael Dorn and Roxann Dawson, was produced by Simon & Schuster Audio.

[1] Marc Okrand, a professional linguist who had previously been consulted concerning the Vulcan language for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), was hired to produce some dialogue in the Klingon language for Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984).

This group began, in 1992, to publish HolQeD ("Linguistics"),[3] a scholarly journal devoted to the study of the Klingon language.

For example, the proverb Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam ("It is a good day to die") is illustrated with a story explaining that "This is an extremely common Klingon locution, often uttered when the odds seem to favor an opponent.

Further, the book notes that "Kang, of course, spoke ironically when, accepting the proposition that there was a chance to defeat an adversary, he altered this expression to 'It is a good day to live'."

An audiobook version of The Klingon Way, with a running time of 75 minutes, was released by Simon & Schuster Audio.

It featured the voices of Michael Dorn and Roxann Dawson, known for playing, respectively, the Klingon Worf in The Next Generation and the half-Klingon B'Elanna Torres in Voyager.

[6] A review of the book, concentrating on the new vocabulary and the specific grammatical features, by was published by Rich "Captain Krankor" Yampell in HolQeD,[7] and was later republished in his The Grammarian's Desk: A Collection of Grammatical Opinion & Wisdom of the Warrior's Tongue, edited by Lawrence M.

[5][12] The novelist and researcher Michael Hemmingson, in his 2009 study of Star Trek, explained that "The Klingon Dictionary (1992) and The Klingon Way (1995) were embraced with relish by Trekkies, resulting in a curious subculture within the fandom: people speaking the language and recreating—or engaging in simulation of hyper-reality—Klingon culture and rituals, as represented in the movies and The Next Generation, into their everyday lives".
