Malti may be the most science-fiction-like real language I have so far encountered.

[hmpf]

Where, outside the realms of Klingon and co., do you find phrases like,

"M'hemmx mn'hiex"?

(= "You're welcome")

That's a shame, really. It would be cool if it were more like that.

I love the click languages (my brother's got a South African girlfriend - unfortunately she only speaks Afrikaans :( Now if she'd learnt Zulu, then I might be saying something different here. Sadly not). That about the whistling language has reminded me - there's another non-verbal one from somewhere like Spain (or possibly not), but I can't remember what on earth it is.
