In the Land of Invented Languages
- ... that In the Land of Invented Languages was written when its author discovered she lived in the same town as a fluent Klingon speaker? Source: Okrent, Arika (19 May 2009). "Scaring the Mundanes". In the Land of Invented Languages. Spiegel & Grau. p. 4. ISBN 978-0-385-52788-0.

- Comment: ...there are like 13 possible hooks in this article. I think this is the most directly-related one, though. I considered something about the Lojban-forum-argument, but couldn't get it under 200 char.
Moved to mainspace by Vaticidalprophet (talk). Self-nominated at 15:27, 29 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/In the Land of Invented Languages; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is newly created, plenty long enough, appears well written and well-cited. The only issue I have is that the hook, though immediately catching my interest, does not seem to be the same as what is written/cited in the article. The article cites that the author "met Mark, a fluent Klingon speaker who lived in the same town as her" but not that this caused her to write the book. The source is not available online, so I can't suggest an alternative wording. Maybe another hook could be proposed? Sionk (talk) 22:54, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

- The suggestions still state she lived in the same town as a Klingon speaker but doesn't attribute the book to the discovery. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 11:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
