Level 1[]

Words, phrases or grammar that are devised by someone other than Okrand or the KLI. Some phrases may be generally accepted as useful, but on the whole the Klingon is not universally acknowledged and could summarily be overturned by Okrand.

Level 2[]

Words, phrases or grammar that were devised by the Klingon Language Institute. Whilst it is acknowledged that the KLI does not have the power or authority to devise new Klingon, any interpretations or usage are considered useful additions to the language. This material could summarily be overturned by Okrand. It is not accepted by everyone.

Level 3[]

Words, phrases, or grammar that were indirectly devised or authorised by Okrand, including grammar inferred from canon examples.

The sources are novels where Okrand collaborated with the authors. There are typographical errors in the works, and it is not clear the degree of collaboration. Material is generally accepted where typographical errors have been corrected. Some purists will not accept this material as canon.
