Loanword
A
loanword is a word adopted from one language and incorporated into another language without translation.
General Loanwords
There are several English words that we know the Klingon spelling for, without these words being "true" Klingon words. This usually happens with words that we (or Klingons) like to talk about, but there is no Klingon equivalent to it. Basically, these are just
transcriptions of English words.
Note that although the word
'Internet is shown in this list, Maltz insisted that it is a Klingon word when
Marc Okrand asked him about it.
Food vocabulary
Most of the words for Terran food which were published in the
TalkNow software are also loanwords.
