:D Going to start by offering links to about the subject I'm weirdly obsessed with. VULCANS. So:

Vulcan Lanuage Dictionary - for word by word translations from Vulcan to English and vice versa. I would recommend not useing this to translate sentances word for word because your gramour and sentence structure will be all wrong.
Vulcan Lanuage Institute - A website for learning Vulcan with information on Vulcan culture.
vuhlkansu - An LJ com for learning Vulcan and asking for translation advice.
An Introduction to Vulcan Physiology
A Pseudo-Documentry on 'Pon Farr' - It's not meant to be serious but actually has some really good information.
Vulcan religion and philosophy - This site (if you scroll down) has some nice references to where elements of Vulcan religion can be found in Star Trek
Vulcan FAQ
Vulcan Logic FAQ
