That's how _Das Offizielle Wörterbuch Klingonisch/Deutsch_ (the German
translation of TKD) does it. The spelling "Klingonische" is used in
many sentences, as is "Klingonischen", no doubt following German
grammatical rules.

I don't know how Spanish or French would naturally render Klingon as
the language. Both the Portugese _Dicionário Da Língua Klingon_ and
the Italian _Il Dizionario Klingon_ use "klingon" (lowercase)
consistently in the text.
