Zhilikam t'°Rishahtan-Var°

As with all advanced cultures, the Vulcans have a great wealth of literature, including genres similar to Terran science fantasy and science fiction. The movies and television programs based on Michael Ende's book The Neverending Story (Die Unendliche Geschichte) continue to be popular among young people throughout the Federation, following only Harry Potter, The Wizard of Oz and The Chronicles of Narnia in popularity and endurance.

Below you will find a sampling of vocabulary that you might find associated with The Neverending Story in print and video. (Names are listed in pure alphabetical order by first name then last name, since names are sorted using the Vulcan standard here.)
