- The Vulcan language (also known as Old Vulcan) was the language of the Vulcan people of the planet Vulcan. (TOS novelization: Star Trek: The Motion Picture) Humans were typically known to have difficulties in reproducing Vulcan speech. (TOS novel: The Patrian Transgression) In more antiquated Vulcan language, when emotion was still commonplace, was the sentiment, "I grieve with thee". It stated empathy and sympathy for one in turmoil, with no foreseeable answer in logic. (TOS episode: "Amok Time", TOS novel: The Return)
