Im not sure im following you here. But what I meant was since Andrew 
was kinda associating Klingon with Esperanto, that they are different 
but you could link them together with Shatner, because he was on a 
show that had Actors who spoke Klingon, and he himself was in a 
Esperanto movie. And that you could consider both of them legit 
languages, as in fully developed and whatnot, except that very very 
few speak them.
