While English and Welsh are the usual forms of communications in the Senedd, it opted for the native tongue of the enemies of Star Trek's Captain Kirk.
Shadow Health Minister and AM for Clwyd West Darren Millar, had asked for details of UFOs sightings and asked if research would be funded. A Welsh government spokesman responded with: "jang vIDa je due luq."
The Welsh government statement continued: "'ach ghotvam'e' QI'yaH devolve qaS." In full it said it translated as: "The minister will reply in due course. However this is a non-devolved matter." It is believed to be the first time the Welsh government has chosen to communicate in Klingon.

I suspect more people probably understand Klingon than Welsh. I also wonder how many accidents there have been due to bilingual signs where the predominant language (in Ireland or Wales, English) isn't at the top. With drivers spending a moment thinking "what does X mean?" when it actually means danger or stop.
