Mon billet "Sans frontières" est même cité sur un blog Klingon - vraiment sans frontière, pour le compte (si un tel lien intergalactique ne me donne pas du PageRank, je n'y comprend rien!).

There have been several attempts to create an artificial language, the most famous of which is probably Esperanto. Such languages are usually planned in such a way as to be as easy as possible to learn and speak, and borrow heavily from existing languages.
However, there is one recent example of an artificial language which has a rather different purpose - and as a result is quite different from almost all other 'created' languages.

Conch Republic
(E?)(L?) http://members.aol.com/brooks957/crhist.htm
In 1982, the United States Boarder Patrol established a military style roadblock on the Overseas Highway, where all northbound traffic was stopped and searched for illegal aliens and drugs. The ensuing well-publicized traffic jam effectively stymied Key West's tourism industry.
Mayor Dennis Wardlow, along with five local businessmen, hatched a scheme to save the Key West economy. The "Conch Republic" was created, declaring its independence and war on the United States, and then immediately surrendering and applying for foreign aid. The roadblock was discontinued, and the economy was saved.

This is Cyber Yugoslavia. Home of Cyber Yugoslavs. We lost our country in 1991 and became citizens of Atlantis. Since September 9, 1999 this is our home. We don't have a physical land, but we do have nationality, and we are giving CY citizenships and CY passports. Because this is Atlantis, we are allowing double and triple citizenships. If you feel Yugoslav, you are welcome to apply for CY citizenship, regardless of your current nationality and citizenship, and you will be accepted. Please read our Constitution for the details. If you are just curious, you are welcome to visit us as tourists.
This land will grow as our citizens wish. Neither faster, nor slower. Neither more, nor less. So, this site will always be under construction. For a solid country to grow, even a virtual one, it takes some time.

"Earthlings": Klingonisch im Alltag
13. April 2004 Ein Dokumentarfilm beobachtet die Mitglieder des Klingon Language Institute bei ihrer jährlichen Konferenz, der so genannten qep'a'.
EARTHLINGS - Ugly Bags of Mostly Water.
On August 1, 2003 a human delegation gathered in Philadelphia to speak and celebrate a language from outer space.
Synopsis:
This film captures the life, passion and quirks of the Klingon Language Institute, an entity structured to support and facilitate the only "Constructed Language" to emerge out of popular culture. This visually unique film with a “Sci-Fi” flair examines the intricate interplay between culture and language, communication and emotion, and the razor-thin line between reality and fiction.

1979 hatte die Produktionsfirma Paramount Picture den Linguisten Marc Okrand engagiert, um für den ersten "Star Trek"-Spielfilm eine Klingonen-Sprache zu entwickeln.
Mitte der achtziger Jahre schuf er eine eigene Grammatik mit komplettem Wortschatz. 2.500 Vokabeln gibt es mittlerweile, ein Wörterbuch und das um Sprachpflege bemühte "Klingon Language Institute" (KLI) in Philadelphia. Fans aus 50 Ländern verständigen sich über das Internet in Klingonisch und treffen sich regelmäßig zu Symposien. Die Dokumentation "Earthlings" von Alexandre O. Philippe über die hartgesottensten Fans unter ihnen wird während der Filmfestspiele gezeigt, die noch bis zum Sonntag dauern.

The aim of all political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, security in person and property, and resistance to oppression. We feel that present day governments are no longer effective protectors of the rights and liberties of the people.

The Province came into being in 1970, when Leonard Casley formally seceded from the Commonwealth of Australia, following a protracted dispute on wheat quotas. The Province was later declared a principality to protect Leonard Casley's supporters from prosecution.
Klingon (n.)
antedating 1968 G. L. Coon 'Errand of Mercy'
a member of a fictional humanoid alien race featuring in the U.S. television series Star Trek and in subsequent associated series, films, publications, etc. Also in extended use. Also the language of this race.
Pidgins are created when people who don't share a language try to communicate with each other. Pidgins do have grammar, of course, but they tend not to be carefully constructed; they're created on an ad hoc basis, to serve the needs of their speakers.
Many people have taken a more systematic approach to the creation of artificial languages. Some such languages (such as "Quenya" or "Klingon") are created for fictional societies to speak; others (such as "Esperanto") are intended to serve noble goals of international communication; still others (such as "Loglan") are experiments designed to test certain claims or hypotheses; and many others are designed by hobbyists and linguists as an exercise or an entertainment.
Most such languages have their devotees. Enough Tolkien fans are interested in his invented Elvish languages "Quenya" and "Sindarin" (and the "Tengwar" and "Cirth" letters they're written in) to have formed the TolkLang mailing list; some people write poetry in various forms of "Elvish". The sounds of the language are lovely. At the other end of the aesthetics scale is "Klingon", created for Star Trek by Mark Okrand; it's a harsh, guttural language, suitable for warriors, and has attracted widespread public attention with the publication of a translation dictionary (and a project to translate the Bible and Shakespeare into Klingon, by the Klingon Language Institute).

Note that some of these words are still a little unsure, and the list is subject to additions, deletions, and emendations as our knowledge increases. Annotations and determinations of what warrants inclusion in this list are due to Will.

In the spirit of inventor and humanist Fridtjof Nansen, our primary mission is to give refugees and other qualified individuals access to an alternative citizenship - permanently or temporarily. The ROLF also provides them with the documents needed to establish their identity for the purpose of reestablishing a normal life project (passport, identification card, consular card, certificates of citizenship and naturalization). As Norwegian Minister of Culture Turid Birkeland's expressed in 1997, "Frontiers are closed and nations turn their backs.

League of Secessionist States
(E?)(L?) http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5111
Organization focusing on uniting micronations in the same manner as the United Nations.
Languages: English, Português, Castellano, Français
The League of Secessionist States was founded on the 26th of November, 1980 by the Kingdom of Talossa, the Kingdom of Thord and the Imperial Jahn Empire, as an organization to unite micronations. Micronations, also known as ephemeral states, imaginary states, model nations, counter-countries and unrecognized states, are a growing phenomenon. They range from the inventions of single individuals to (virtually) functioning societies with populations in the thousands, often spread across 'national' boundaries. What they have in common is the voluntary nature of citizenship, which is unrecognized by the established (Macro-)nations. They have often been described as the future of nationhood; communities of like minded individuals who do not rely on an accident of birth or geography to define themselves as compatriots.
Currently, the League of Secessionist States is an organization of 36 such micronations; it exists to promote intermicronational communication and partnership, and serves to act as a supramicronational, impartial body where such a need for one exists. As of February, 2002, Mr. Fred Church from the Democracy of Cherusken-Isonomia is serving as the Secretary-General.

The Klingon alphabet (tlhIngan pIqaD) is the creation of an unknown inventor at Paramount. In the Star Trek TV series and movies random letters from the alphabet are used for effect. There is no official mapping of the Klingon letters to the Latin alphabet, but the one shown below is generally used by tlhIngan pIqaD enthusiasts. Most people who speak Klingon prefer to use the Latin alphabet to write it.
There are perhaps 20 or 30 fluent speakers of Klingon, and some 500 or 600 people who have some knowledge of the language.

Klingon (tlhIngan Hol), a language created by Dr Marc Okrand, a professional linguist, for use by the alien Klingons in some of the Star Trek movies.

It is a complete language, with its own vocabulary, grammar, usage and an enthusiastic community of speakers.

During the 1939-45 War, Great Britain established an artificial island on the High Seas.
This island was equipped with radar and heavy armaments and occupied by some two hundred servicemen.
The task of the island and its inhabitants was to guard the approaches to the Thames Estuary, where large and vulnerable convoys of shipping were assembled.
Some time after the cessation of hostilities, the island was derelicted and abandoned by the British Government.
In the winter of 1966, a British family took possession and commenced the task of equipping and restoring the island. On 2 September 1967, they hoisted their own flag and declared the existence of a new state - the Principality of Sealand.

Sealand was founded as a sovereign Principality in 1967 in international waters, six miles off the eastern shores of Britain. The island fortress is conveniently situated from 65 to 100 miles from the coasts of France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. The official language of Sealand is English and the Sealand Dollar has a fixed exchange rate of one U.S. dollar. Passports and stamps have been in circulation since 1969, however, contrary to many misleading websites and news articles, Sealand passports are not for sale, and anyone offering such are selling forgeries. Within a radius of 500 miles of Sealand live more than 200 million people who enjoy some of the highest standards of living in the world. This area also encompasses the financial, industrial and cultural heart of Europe.

Klingons (Klingon: tlhIngan) are a warrior race in the fictional Star Trek universe. They are recurring villains in the 1960s television show Star Trek: The Original Series, and have appeared in all five spin-off series and seven feature films. Initially intended to be swarthy antagonists for the crew of the USS Enterprise, the Klingons ended up a close ally of humanity and the United Federation of Planets in later television series.
As originally developed by screenwriter Gene L. Coon, Klingons were darkly colored humanoids with little honor, intended as an allegory to the then-current Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union. With a greatly expanded budget for makeup and effects, the Klingons were completely redesigned in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), gaining ridged foreheads that created a continuity error not explained by canon until 2005. In later films and the spin-off series Star Trek: The Next Generation, the militaristic traits of the Klingons were bolstered by an increased sense of honor and strict warrior code.
Among the elements created for the revised Klingons was a complete language, developed by Marc Okrand off gibberish suggested by actor James Doohan. Since its appearance, Klingon became the first fictional language to break into popular culture; the works of William Shakespeare and even the Bible have been translated into the guttural language. Several tutorials and dictionaries have been published and according to Guinness World Records, Klingon is the most popular fictional language by number of speakers.
