How many klingons are there?

Answer 1

Question: What are the Klingon numbers in pronounciation?

Comment: Good Question!

Iinformation: I read this out of a Klingon dictionary...

Answer:

(0) Pagh

(1) Wa'

(2) Cha'

(3) Wej

(4) loS

(5) Vagh

(6) Jav

(7) Soch

(8) Chorgh

(9) Hut

The above is slightly erroneous, because the answerer has capitalized the words, which is incorrect. Klingon has strict rules of capitalization which don't work like English. So the correct list (with brief pronunciation guide) is:

(0) pagh -- "pahgh"

(1) wa' -- "wah"

(2) cha' -- "chah"

(3) wej -- "wedge"

(4) loS -- "loash"

(5) vagh -- "vahgh"

(6) jav -- "jahv"

(7) Soch -- "shoach"

(8) chorgh -- "chorgh"

(9) Hut -- "Hoot" ('H' is like 'ch' in "chutzpah" or "Channukah")

You can build larger numbers with numeric suffixes such as:

-maH (10) -- "mahH"

-vatlh (100) -- "vahtl" (say the tl together as one sound, NOT like "bottle")

-SaD (1000) -- "shahd"

So 10 would be wa'maH and 20 would be cha'maH. 400 would be loSvatlh

and 8000 would be chorghSaD. 666 would be javvatlh javmaH jav.

Answer 2

Who knows how many. If you are asking my estimate then I'd say around 100,000. But that's a guess.
