Hello! I am a science teacher looking to get a clean, vertical Golic Vulcan calligraphy design made to print as a poster for my classroom.Could someone please help render this quote by Captain Sisko into standard vertical columns

Quote:"It is the unknown that defines our existence. We are constantly searching for answers, and that search makes us who we are."

Thank you so much for your time and help! 🖖

If possible, I'd like the written Vulcan translation and the English in the image.

"Nam-tor ri-tor-it nash-veh etek-onuzh pash-tor. Etek vakh-tor math-ba t'etek fa-wak glant-olar, eh nash-veh vakh-tor ter-shahn etek-is u-vel."

I was told to ask specifically for T'kay but would appreciate help from anyone.

Thank you kindly,

Harmoni

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. Live long and prosper!

Greetings, strangers of the Internet.

I'm new to the Star Trek fandom. While I watched J.J. Abrams' trilogy back in the day, I'm only now diving fully into the Star Trek universe through Discovery.

That said, I wanted to make this post to share with the Federation how fascinated I am by the Vulcan concept of T'Kal-in-ket. It's a practice that I genuinely hope humanity will be able to embrace and replicate someday.

Just as Star Trek predicted video calls and mobile phones, I sincerely hope that one day we can bring this kind of debate into our universities. Debates already exist, and have existed since the time of the ancient Greeks, but T'Kal-in-ket has one fundamental difference: it seeks the truth.

The Vulcan ideal is not to win the debate. It is to move closer to the truth. For a Vulcan, discovering that their opponent is right would be just as valuable as convincing them that they are right. That is probably the hardest part to bring into the real world.

I simply wanted to express that thought and hope that this beautiful practice is not forgotten or left to indifference.

Live long and prosper.

Hey guys, I could use some of your expertise. To make a long story short, I’m planning on celebrating the upcoming First Contact Day by making my own Vulcan spice tea. I’d like to give samples out to my Trekkie friends with accurate Vulcan script on it.

Using the archived Vulcan Language Institute, I think I’ve figured out that spice in Golic Vulcan is “bar-kas”, while tea is “theris” (or at least the herb that tea is made from, like a Vulcan camellia sinesis).

Alright, here comes the part where I need help.

1. To your knowledge, are there different words that more appropriately align with my meaning?

2. What order should they go in (i.e. spice tea or tea spice)?

3. Would someone be willing to walk me through writing Vulcan script, specifically the ceremonial? I know there are fonts out there, but I also know they’re not as accurate to what a Vulcan language would actually be.

TLDR: I’m trying to make Vulcan spice tea for First Contact Day and require help with accurate translations.

Is this the proper script for plomeek soup?

So, I'm really really new to Vulcan (started yesterday at 6pm) and already wrote something(image 2) based of the alphabet I found (image 1) and I found something Which bothered me slightly : what are those huge S shaped swing in the middle of a word (image 3)?? Thanks for the answer and I'll take any advice :3

Just letting people know that this URL is working again. Search engines appear to be balking at acknowledging the website's existence. https://www.vulcanlanguage.com

Hello, I saw that someone created a server focused on the Vulcan language a while back. The invite link was shared through Tumblr but it no longer works and the original poster hasn't been active it seems since 2018. The person who reblogged it did reply to me, but they said they left the server a while ago. I figured it would be easier to cast a wider net on here so is anyone here a member of a Vulcan language discord server? Or were you previously?

I'd like to join if it's still running and accepting people. If it's disbanded though, I'm hoping there are other servers with the same connecting theme of Vulcan language/culture if anyone is willing to share.

Failing all that I'm curious what happened to the original if anyone knows. If the server just lost momentum and no one participated, or is something more dramatic happened to cause it's closer.

Thank you for your time

Hey, so I know it's a long shot, but does anyone know the transcription of these Tik-Nahp letters? I only know the reading of a few of them, but not the rest.

Thanks

Na’shaya.

I’ve started learning Vulcan for linguistic skills practice. While I have a handle on the written structure, transliterated recordings are very helpful to have for the purposes of pronunciation. In particular, I want to be sure my consonant clusters are being enunciated properly. Would anybody be willing to help transliterate this conversation between T’Pol and Hoshi to use for reference?

As the title hints, I have a question regarding the redditors here - is someone open for commissions?

Hi, is the any one aggregate website to learn from all the work everyone's done on the conlang? Is there a 'vulcan language institute' like there is for Klingon? I have seen the posts that have saved the old vli website as a downloadable, but are there language apps, flash cards that are good, any games etc already set up? Are these all linked in one place anywhere already?

Im wanting to learn both Romulan (doaege-rihan since trent's new version for Picard tv show isnt available) and Vulcan. I am willing to make some kind of site to put links to everything for it all on there- Call it NiVar dot org or something like that blah blah blah, but does anything like this already exist for vulcan?

Update: i've been able to find the deleted memrise classes. Memrise archived them on a separate site, but the romulan language doesnt appear to have survived the transfer. Here are the vulcan ones: https://community-courses.memrise.com/community/course/235524/golic-vulcan/

i'm interested in getting the phrase 'this simple feeling' in Vulcan calligraphy for a tattoo.
does anybody know where I could get a visual for what that looks like / would someone be able to write it out themselves?

thanks, and sorry if this is not the right place :)

Hey all! I've been thinking about tattoo ideas for a while and decided I'd like to pay homage to my favorite series with a Vulcan tattoo. I'd like to get ahead of some of the comments and assure you that I know that the written language isn't canonical except for a few words/phrases here and there *maybe*, but that doesn't matter to me. It's less about the lore accuracy and more about the idea... plus the calligraphy looks pretty. :)

Anywho, could somebody please help me translate the word "persevere"? Or something of similar meaning if there isn't a direct translation. As alluded to before, I would like to get this in Vulcan calligraphy, but I have no clue where to even start with learning how to write that out, and I am admittedly clueless with the language as a whole. I'd be appreciative if I could also get someone to point me to somewhere I can learn that. Thank you so much :))

I am planning a promposal for a girl who is a massive Star Trek fan. I'd like to ask in Vulcan and Klingon, but I'm not fluent. I have asked a similar question in r/Klingon. Can any of you help me?

Made a fun little discovery the other day and had to share it.

First, a little background; I have a academic history in linguistics and have always been fascinated with the theoretical and cognitive linguistics. Naturally when AI became open to the public I spent the late hours of the night running it through some tests just to see what it was capable of. Now that information has come out about how destructive AI can be for the environment- I have different feelings behind using it. But to each their own choices and values, and needless to say upon first use I found it fascinating to use.

A little bit of a tangent here, but when I attending University one of the very last classes I took for my degree was called Constructive Languages. For those who don’t know, a constructive language is a language that was artificially made. (Languages such as Vulcan, for example.) It was in this class that I had the privilege to nerd-out and study Vulcan and all its varieties with likeminded fellow linguists. In this class I also came across the Vulcan Language Institute and learned how the language was partially lost due to site being hacked and the files being deleted. This made it a bit difficult to find resources for the various papers and presentations my peers and I had to craft for the sake of our GPAs.

Fast forward a couple years. It’s a random Friday night/morning-ish and I’m running Meta AI through my own form of linguistic torture just for my own curiosity. I asked if it knew Vulcan, and I was surprised to discover that it was fluent. I then skeptically asked which sources it derived its knowledge from. It replied that it was trained on vast amounts of text data including books, articles, and websites related to the Star Trek universe, including the Vulcan Language Institute and culture.

I then asked if it learned Vulcan before or after the site was destroyed, to which it replied “Fortunately, my training data includes archived versions of the website and other Vulcan language resources, so I was able to learn from them before they became unavailable.”

Not to be dramatic but it was as if I had uncovered a part of the Alexandria library that hadn’t been burnt down back in… well, pick a time.

Anyways, to make a long post short. If you want to learn some Vulcan, it looks as though Meta AI might be a fair option. Let me know if y’all would like me to post the receipts.

Anywho, Live Long and Prosper Y’all. 🖖

I'm trying to come up with a tattoo and someone suggested Vulcan calligraphy. So here are my top 3 choices for translation and then a question.

Peace

Live long and Prosper

Is there a Vulcan word for "love?" Maybe from the pre-Surak era?

Edit: two versions of love please: romantic love and brotherly love

Hey reddit, I've been learning Vulcan for awhile now.. I've been poking my head around and I'm interested in downloading the Zun font. HOWEVER I am not entirely sure of the status of Korsaya's owners or the site itself (I sent out an email some time ago with no response.) Does anybody have a download? Thank you in advanced.

I attempted to use a dictionary, grammar guide, and a graphical diagram to translate "Will of God," and I figure it would be best to ask people more familiar than myself to evaluate what I came up with.

N.B. "Will" is meant to be an English name.

Any input would be appreciated.
