I am reminded of a horrible subbed version of the original "Fist of the North Star" television series that my roommate had on VHS in college (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth). Several long and involved tirades by Kenshiro had been rather succinctly and, dare I say, sparingly translated. One in particular was a good 30-45 seconds of him regaling the assorted mutant gangers and ganger mutants (and possibly mutated mutants and ganged gangers) that he was about to murderize of the legacy of the his martial arts training and how they were doomed to fail if they faced him in combat and wouldn't it really be better if they all went home, called their mothers and apologized, and took up something productive, like certified accounting. After this stern Japanese monologuing (and I do mean "after" as the subtitle did not appear for at least 10-20 seconds after Kenshiro started talking), the subtitle declared that Kenshiro had said, "You're all pigs."

Sort of the reverse of the Romulan language you propose, but very much in the same vein.

That's... a compelling image. Haka included, of course.

"To truly appreciate the All Blacks haka, one must hear it in the original Klingon."
