Did Star trek already do an alien language with Klingon? I don't know what to feel about a whole fictional world when there are so many languages, cultures, and "primitive cultures" we can learn from right here on Earth. It is interesting that James Cameron went so far but how many sci fi and fiction authors do the same thing?

the books I ordered came in today. What a fascinating world. At the end of the art book they mention that working on it was dangerous in a way, because so many of them didnt want to leave when the project was over.
