Scene: Sociolinguistics class. The class is discussing language loss through generations of immigrants.

 

Girl: What about kids whose parents have learned a language and teach them to the kids, so the kids are native speakers but the parents aren’t?

Amelia: Like the native Klingon speakers?

Sociolinguistics sounds awesome. Please say that elicited a chuckle from the teacher.

just the idea of a kid being a native Klingon or Quenya speaker has me in stitches.
