  Do they have alphabets for the Star Trek Languages?

  I am pretty sure they have alphabets for the Vulcan and Klingon languages. I'm not sure about any others.
  
  Of course, there are so many Klingon dialects I can't imagine a single alphabet covering them all. But I'm not a linguist, much less a linguist who knows anything about Klingon. If I get a chance I'll look around for some Websites.
  
  You've piqued my curiosity with this question.

  Klingon for sure, at least the 'classic' one, I have no idea what they're doing in Star Trek now. There are books published in Klingon, and I think several online Translator sites have it, although they may only translate it 'Romanized' rather than in the Klingon script.
  
  I think Vulcan is pretty fleshed out, too, but I think that sort of came later, and the novelty had passed by then.

  I seem to have a vague memory of seeing some kind of glyphs printed on the Romulan ships of TNG and later incarnations, which we are to understand are supposed to be Romulan equivalents of ship names and registry numbers and suchlike as were on the Federation ships.

  I believe you're right. I think we have been shown some Romulan writing. And we've probably seen writing in other alien languages, but I don't remember which ones.
