• - and here is a UTA-lite in JavaScript

  • Klingon UTA LITE
  • Telegraphic Klingon UTA LITE (a modest attempt at being grammatical)
  • Vulcan UTA LITE
  • Romulan UTA LITE - extended vocabulary based on the work of Diane Duane.  

    • This JavaScript version of UTA uses an extended Romulan vocabulary. I coded it using the work of Diane Duane - using her Basic Program for generating Rihansu (Romulan) words, then generated a set of English vocabulary from the WEB translation of Judges 1 and paired them together. The current version of UTA  and the download link (below) add this new vocabulary to the published Rihansu from Ms. Duane's books.
