Hi Jim, In deed. None of the U.S. English voices come close to speaking Klingon. However, If I switch Eloquence to German and type them in it does a passible job of speaking them. I would imagine that is because the Klingon language has a Germanic style of speech. Especially, with the way the letter h is used in words. English sinths just don't have the right programming to pronounce those kinds of words.
Cheers!
