For those of you who've been following the Wolf 359 project, I'm part of a similar project that is aiming to cover the Earth-Romulan War. As such, Vulcan plays a huge part in this.

For historical allegories, this is how we think of the Vulcans:

Vulcan: Great Britain

Vulcan Confederation: British Empire

Earth: Canada/United States

Denobula: India

Coridan: South Africa

The text: "My name is Shí (石) Will Bea Trueman, and this is my story about the Age of Heroes; from first rising to final farewell: a story replete with horror and tragedy, fluctuating between science fiction and fantasy, punctuating continual metamorphosis and rebellion against grimdark."

I'd love to see what this would be in Vulcan. :)

My husband made a clock for me and I decided I wanted to use Vulcan numbers on the face. I want to make sure I have them accurate.

Hello! Does anyone have the correct Vulcan calligraphy for “to boldly go”? I am also in the market for a Vulcan calligraphy tattoo but would of course prefer it to be correct. Thank you!!!!

Hi everyone! Star Trek has been one of my favorite series for my entire life and I really wanted to celebrate it with a tattoo. Vulcan has always been visually stunning to me so I really wanted to get my favorite Star Trek quote in Vulcan. However, I've been struggling to figure out how to translate it. Could anyone help me out? Thanks!

" It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life "

Hello, a friend of mine wants to tattoo his son's name "Finbarr" in vulcan alphabet. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hey there everyone,

I'm looking to make a birthday gift for a loved one and I want to get the quote from one of his favorite movies translated into Vulcan calligraphy since he's such a DS9 and ST fan in general.

The quote is: "Something that explains why you still went looking for me through all of this noise. And why, no matter what, I still want to be here with you. I will always, always, want to be here with you."

Is there anyone here familiar enough with Golic Vulcan calligraphy that can translate this quickly for me? His birthday is coming up in a couple weeks and I need time to be able to embroider or screenprint it onto a garment for him. I'm not sure how best to go about translating it myself as many of the resources simply transliterate the English alphabet into calligraphy which isn't what I need I don't think. I want to get it correctly translated and not half-assed if that's possible.

If this seems like it's not something that's possible, please do let me know and I can look into perhaps a different method.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

So im late to the party and just now getting around to SNW. I've replayed the same two seconds countless times now. Can anyone make out what Spock says to T'Pring at 44:31 after they've switched back? It's bugging me that I can't parse it. 😒

I want a tattoo in Vulcan calligraphy, because I am quite unoriginal. I was wondering if anyone knew how the phrase "these are the voyages" would be written in Vulcan?

Because they struck down some of my etsy listings due to copyright infringement but I don't think they own it. And they only struck down some of them, so I'm confused.

Vulcan (Japanese)

I have noticed a few changes over time as I explored more of the Vulcan Language. What triggered this was the last post with me using kiv and others using kuv for "if." As I went through the Vulcan Institute for Earth Culture (VIEC) and typing those words into a dictionary I came across differences. This is where I saw "kiv " for "if" which I liked better than "kuv" because "kuv" also deals with circles. I found this phrase "kiv tehnau fa-wak stau" if resist, will kill you".

I also found the prefix nu' which seemed to be used in the place of ne' from what I can tell nu' means down or down-ward and ne' was originally down, below, beneath or under. It looked to me that Mark Gardner refined these prepositions later by adding nu' for down and leaving ne' for under and below. Any thoughts on this?

I also found spelling differences, for example "zahelsu" which is "follower" became "zahalsu" in VIEC. I like "zahalsu" better as it seems more logical, zahal-tor is follow, zahalan is following, then why should the one "a" become and "e" in zahelsu, that made no sense to me. I've come across a few other spelling differences over time.

Another change I've seen is using ng or ing to denote an adverb. I see no point in this, to me it seems Vulcans use describing words which work for both nouns and verbs, so there would be no separate designation for an adjective or an adverb just words that add meaning change to either the noun or verb. (in all the word typing I've done I've never seen a Vulcan word for adverb, Adjective is rub-zhit)

These are the ones I noticed do you have any changes that you have noticed? Or comments on what I have mentioned so far?

How to say "if the background is blue you are going too fast"

Would it be: hal-tor du nuh'sahris kuv pla-kur za-mesu go you too'fast if blue background

Or: kuv pla-kur za-mesu hal-tor du nuh'sahris If blue background go you too'fast

Or does it matter?

Thanks for your help

Would it be Dvun'uh n'nash-veh ska'nash-kov ?
