Ah, now not exactly but maybe they both have a common root in the indo-germanic language family? I think I am allowed to make jokes as beeing austrian.

Well, as Wikipedia would have it, probably not:

Okrand [the creator of the language] had studied some Native American and Southeast Asian languages, and phonological and grammatical features of these languages "worked their way into Klingon, but for the most part, not by design." Okrand himself has stated that a design principle of the Klingon language was dissimilarity to existing natural languages in general, and English in particular. He therefore avoided patterns that are typologically common and deliberately chose features that occur relatively infrequently in human languages. This includes above all the highly asymmetric consonant inventory and the basic word order.

Aislin is pronounced ash-ling like how the comedienne Aisling Bea is pronunced

Also just been watching the livestream Ed did with Will on Monday and he pronounced it that way and said he'd asked how to pronounce all the names

Google pronounces it "Ashling" too (because that's how it's pronounced): https://translate.google.com/#auto/en/aisling

EDIT: Note that Google translate mispronounces "Lakon" though, it says "Lack -on" instead of "Lay-con"

Stupid thread.
I've always read it as lay kon. Never even imagined another interpretation.
Now....thanks to this thread, I've started seeing lah kon even though I know it's wrong. Well....thanks a bunch! :D
