From Ars Technica:
The Welsh government has used the Klingon language to respond to
serious questions about UFO sightings in Wales. Rather than the native
tongue of an extraterrestrial warrior species that inhabits the Star Trek universe, English and Welsh are usually the official languages of Wales.
It all started when Conservative politician Darren Millar, the shadow
health minister, tabled three questions for Labour's Edwina Hart, the
minister for economy, science, and transport:
- Will the minister make a statement on
how many reports of unidentified flying objects there have been at
Cardiff Airport since its acquisition by the Welsh government?
- What discussions has the Welsh
government had with the Ministry of Defence regarding sightings of
unidentified flying objects in Wales in each of the past five years?
- What consideration has the Welsh
government given to the funding of research into sightings of
unidentified flying objects in Wales?
The response
from the Welsh government was as follows: "jang vIDa je due luq. 'ach
ghotvam'e' QI'yaH-devolved qaS." Using the Ars Orbiting HQ's universal
translation matrix, that roughly translates to: "The minister will reply
in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter."...MORE
At least it's easier to pronounce.
