I'm quite disappointed at this. Given how popular Comic-Con was this year, I'm surprised more people didn't sign up? Maybe Elvish or Na'avi is more popular:

Not surprised that there's little take up. Was surprised to read that Hamlet had been translated though..
Hamlet in Klingon!
Made me think..
Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to suffer
The Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
...
It is a good day to die!!
(The treckers will get the joke)
Cheers,
Shafique

LOL Klingon is a very rough language though, sounds pretty gnarly.

Arabic also has some 'hard' consonants and so perhaps you'd expect Arabic speakers to pick up Klingon easier than others..

Sort of reminds me a bit more of Russian to be honest.

I was also going to mention the Germanic languages - but you're right, there's a bit of a Russian ring to it.

Hey paps is this alias of yours meant to be part Klingon?
Great find though (and yes, I can actually hear the resemblance between Russian and German, now you come to mention it).
Here's some German to compare:
