The Vulcan dialect used throughout Korsaya.org comes almost entirely from the work of Mark R. Gardner
et al from the
temporarily previously offline Vulcan Language Institute, which is commonly attributed as VLI. There is an official project known as the
Vulcan Language Institute Reclamation Project which was seeking to maintain the original creative work and scholarship that went into the creation of Golic Vulcan at the VLI while it was unavailable for several years. Some additional vocabulary comes from the renowned
Vulcan Language Dictionary (VLD), which appears to be THE Terran go-to resource for anyone who is seeking knowledge of the lexicon. Korsaya.org encourages anyone interested in learning Vulcan to make extensive use of these invaluable resources and humbly thanks those who operate these sites for their commitment to the support of Vulcan linguistics.
You sing very well. I hear Golic spoken so rarely
Fascinating!

That song is amazing. Its mesmerizing. I need to point my friend to it so she can hear Golic being sung.
Thank you for posting this.

Sem-rik!
I am currently writing a fanfiction that relies heavily on Vulcan culture and clan dynamics, and your website has been an incredible resource for me, both in terms of information and inspiration. I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for the amazing work you have done in presenting such a wealth of knowledge and insight into my favorite facet of Trek culture.
Truly, there are no words I can express to sum up how much your website has helped me in my continuing efforts to present my story as accurately as possible based on established lore.
It has been quite a learning experience familiarizing myself with the intricacies of Vulcan speech, especially with so many levels of implied formality that are easily misunderstood without careful analysis. While I would consider myself a novice at this point, I look forward to learning more!
Th’i-oxalra!
I failed to communicate this in my last comment, but oT’Prion’s song is absolutely stunning. Undeniably it is a testament to her creativity as well as linguistic ability. It has been inspirational to listen to and gives me a new insight into the Vulcan arts.
You can almost feel the warmth of the desert wind caress your cheek….
Cha’i t’naat, oT’Prion!
