Klingon has been around for 27 years. By the average age of Klingon fan websites, it appears to have passed it’s peak, i.e. fans aren’t updating their pages much since the days of Geocities, table based layout and the BLINK and MARQUE tags (best viewed in Netscape Navigator!). There are still active conversations going on and in-person events. The estimate is there are 12 fluent speakers worldwide. The language isn’t being taught to children, (except once), and by SLI standards, this language is moribund. On the other hand, it is one of the most successful constructed languages. Success is relative.
