Menk language

Menk was the language used by the Menk, one of two humanoid species on Valakis. Valakians that worked with the Menk spoke it to issue instructions to them.
Hoshi Sato was able to learn Menk without much trouble. As of 2151, however, Starfleet's universal translator was unable to translate the Menk language. ()
