How many users of Ogham are there? (An bhfuil foilseach�n ar bith sa l� at� inni� ann cl�bhuailte in Ogham?)
T� foilseach�in ina bhfuil Ogham cl�chuailte ann.
Is there even one publication today that is printed in Ogham? Why does Ogham qualify for entry but not Klingon?
It is an authentic script used to write Primitive Irish on stone, and later varieties of Irish in manuscripts from the middle ages to the 19th century. The texts and script are studied in their own right.
It strikes me that the controversy about Klingon has more to do with its fictional origins than number of users. Is this not true?
I don't think so. We will certainly encode Tengwar and Cirth, which have corpora of documents in them. Klingonists universally prefer Latin, and it was the judgement of the UTC that the usage criteria hadn't been met.
