First I thought "Cool!"...

Then I thought "But that means he won't be able to speak English?!?!"

I loved one of the comments:

"Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

I have forwarded this video to the department of child care services."

What good is that going to do? Do they report people who teach their child Latin/French/Italian too?

It depends on whether they are teaching him another language as well...

I have friends who kids speak Italian, German, English and Finnish. That is fine (they live in Germany, one father is Italian and the other is Finnish and the mother has English speaking friends).

If they are teaching the baby their native language as well, then fine, but only Klingon? :? Is this the same guy reported 2 weeks ago who only spoke Klingon to their kid for 2 years? (Seems to be too much of a coincidence...)

Finnish? Good. My GF knows it used to be a problem that if Finns moved to Germany they were too embarrassed to teach their kids Finnish, no idea why. Take Niko Rosberg, a son of one of the most famous Finns, he doesn't speak a word of it but does speak 5 other languages.

But then what do we base it on? I mean if it's a purely numbers thing then I reckon, therefore I have no proof ( :D ), that Klingon may be spoken by more people than some real languages.
