Example Sentences
- "If a controversy breaks out among scholars about the dating of the Great Vowel Shift, or among Klingonists about the correct translation of 'loaves and fishes', the effect on most people's lives is negligible."
- "It is certainly true that many Klingonists use only the Roman orthography (I myself do not use pIqaD much, if at all). But then, some people write Sanskrit only with Devanagari characters, and never use other Bramhi scripts for it, yet we still encode Sanskrit-specific characters in those other scripts."
