Contributors wanted for book on "Invented Languages"

Thanks, Larry -- I've tried to contact Marc Okrand before but without
luck, and it may be that I wasn't using an active e-mail address --
I'll try again with the one you've provided.

 You'll want Marc Okrand for Klingon. He's the inventor (as well as a
 PhD in linguistics from U. C. Berkeley), and should be reachable at
 <mokrand at erols.com>.
