What No Klingon?
Its a perfectly valid language! Really It is!
This site is digitizing the Foreign Service Institute language courses and making them available free of charge. No Arabic yet, but people in the know tell me that course only consists of the sentence “All your oil are belongs to us”.
(just tossin a bone to the blood for oil freaks)
Of course the US Army when it isn’t engaged in the rampaging expansion of America’s Imperial power has developed a pretty cool Arabic course of it’s own. Watch the video at the site.
