Works of fiction by creators talented in linguistics often include constructed languages, or Conlangs, complete enough that it's possible to learn the language in real life. In fiction this is typically a trait reserved for stereotypical nerds. Due to Small Reference Pools it's rare in fiction to see Conlangs other than Star Trek's tlhIngan Hol (the Klingon language developed by Marc Okrand) or the Elvish tongues Sindarin and Quenya from Tolkien's Legendarium, although due to the success in The New '10s of HBO's Game of Thrones TV series, Dothraki from A Song of Ice and Fire has recently gained prominence. Truth in Television, though it takes a particular kind of fan to actually pull it off: you need to not only have knowledge of the work, but good foreign language skills. See also Gratuitous Foreign Language. May cross over with Pardon My Klingon if what is said shouldn't be translated in polite company. A common trait of the Trekkie. Note to editors. For the more obscure Conlangs out there, please state the work the language originates from. |

Chuck: In "Chuck vs. the Nemesis", Bryce gets Chuck to speak some Klingon to verify that it is actually him. Chuck is a bit embarrassed at first, since he knows that Sarah and Casey are watching. Bonus points for Bryce being a well-adjusted and social nerd (played by Matt Bomer), not to mention a super-spy. Later, Bryce uses Klingon to talk to Chuck while Chuck is being held hostage so that the enemy won't understand that he's checking Chuck wore a bulletproof vest, before shooting him, letting him play dead and pretend that Bryce had ruthlessly killed "the civilian". |

The Simpsons "Three Men and a Comic Book": Comic Book Guy mentions that he has a Masters in Folklore and Mythology, part of which involved translating The Lord of the Rings into Klingon. "Worst Episode Ever": After he gets thrown out of Moe's, Comic Book Guy asks himself "Is there a word in Klingon for loneliness?", looks in his pocket dictionary, "Oh, yes. Garr'dock!" "My Big Fat Geek Wedding": When Comic Book Guy tries to get married to Edna Krabappel, the ceremony is conducted in Klingon. Apparently, the guests (sci-fi convention attendees) can all understand it. At the end of the episode, Homer and Marge get remarried by a Klingon-speaking priest, and Homer knows enough Klingon to know Marge accidentally said "I do" to raising their kids Klingon. "Moms I'd Like to Forget" "The Book Job": Marge's sister, Patty, claims to be fluent in every fictional language—from Dothraki (which is from Game of Thrones) to Parseltongue (the serpent-language from Harry Potter). |

Star Trek: Picard: Kestra, daughter of Will Riker and Deanna Troi, slips in and out of Viveen, one of twelve Conlangs that her deceased older brother Thaddeus created in his youth. It goes with a sort of High Fantasy "Wild Girl of the Woods" persona she cosplays while out hunting for game. | |

A frequent joke in The Big Bang Theory. "The Bad Fish Paradigm": Sheldon asks Penny a few questions about her compatibility with Leonard and one of them is "Do you speak Klingon?" "The Panty Pinata Polarization" starts with the guys playing a game of Klingon Boggle. "The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary": Howard says he speaks six languages if you count Klingon, Leonard and Penny agree that "Girls don't count Klingon". Later, after Sheldon wins a game in a Mystic Warlords of Ka'a tournament, he shouts at Wil Wheaton in Klingon. "The Vacation Solution" Penny thinks that Bernadette has talked Howard out of having their wedding invitations in Klingon, but Bernadette tells her that the Klingon text is on the back. "The Hawking Excitation": Howard tells Sheldon no in several languages, including Klingon and Binary coded Ascii. "The Countdown Reflection": Sheldon keeps trying to perform his part of the wedding ceremony in Klingon. In "The Romance Resonance", Howard sings to Bernadette and on of the things he lists that he would do without her is "speak a lot more Klingon". "The Proton Transmogrification": While attending a funeral, Penny and Leonard both get pensive about dying and any regrets they might have. In "The Veracity Elasticity" Leonard and Sheldon try to keep secrets from Penny and Amy by speaking in Klingon in front of them. The girls get back at them by speaking Ubbi Dubbi. |

The Office (US) "Andy's Ancestry": When Erin starts learning a language to impress Andy's family, Dwight convinces her to stop learning French and start learning Dothraki under his tutelage. She doesn't realize that it is a Conlang and is dejected when Andy tells her that she was doing something he considers so nerdy. Pete gives her a Dothraki farewell at the end, another hint of his crush on her. | |

The Cleveland Show "Love Rollercoaster": When a trio of nerds mock Junior's model rocket entry in the Science Fair, he asks them what their entry is. The lead nerd tells him that they "translated Monty Python and the Holy Grail into Klingon, and we're going to do a shot-for-shot, Stop Motion remake using vintage, new-in-box, eight-inch, Mego DC Comics action figures", combining a lot of nerd stereotypes into one. | |

When the secretary he is distracting comments on how strong he is, he says he works out because he likes to go to conventions as a Klingon. He then says something to her in Klingon, which she replies to. In Leverage: Redemption, Parker says a proverb in Klingon, which Eliot translates. |

CSI: Miami: One episode has a woman killed and drained of blood, with a mysterious message found near the body. Upon realizing the house is owned by a woman who writes vampire literature, they look into "made up vampire languages" and find out the presumably creepy message was just a fan letter written in the conlang used in the books (which, to be fair, was mostly a real world language using a fictional alphabet, which would make it easier to learn than entirely fabricated languages). | |

How I Met Your Mother "The Duel": Robin goes on date with a nerdy guy to prove a point to Barney. After it starts to go bad, she gets a phone call about Lily being in hospital. The nerd believes that it is a fake call to get her out of the date and insults her in Klingon. In the "Double Date" episode, Marshall (a huge fan of Star Wars, along with the rest of the male cast) expressed interest in finding a Wookiee-to-English dictionary (or even just an everyday phrasebook). While wearing a Wookiee costume en route to a Wookiee convention. In "Unpause", when Barney (also a fan of Star Wars) is very drunk, he is capable of speaking Huttese like Jabba the Hutt. |

In the Frasier episode "Star Mitzvah", Frasier's son Frederick is about to have his bar mitzvah, and Frasier wants to give him a speech in Hebrew. Since Frasier doesn't know Hebrew, he asks his co-worker Noel, a stereotypical middle-aged nerd, to translate the speech. Noel agrees, but later on he gets angry with Frasier when Frasier fails to get him the signature of Scott Bakula, the actor playing Captain Archer in Star Trek: Enterprise. Noel retaliates by translating the bar mitzvah speech into Klingon, a language which he apparently knows well, but which Frasier can't distinguish from Hebrew. Naturally, Frasier ends up humiliating himself as the attendees at the bar mitzvah immediately know he's not speaking Hebrew. It turns out that one of Freddie's friends also speaks Klingon and is able to translate it back to English and tell him what his dad was trying to say. | |
