Pinker-Sato phonology module

The Pinker-Sato phonology module is a chip-sized component of Starfleet's universal translator. It can be modified with new information on languages.

In 2376, John Candlewood, Cassini and T'rb replicated a Pinker-Sato phonology module that included linguistic comparisons from the USS Defiant (NX-74205) (II)'s main computer on latest Gamma Quadrant languages. The modified module allowed the crew to communicate with the D’Naali Ryek'ekbalabiozan'voslu when the universal translator began to work. 
 * ''The Pinker-Sato phonology module is likely named for real-life linguist and ENT's Hoshi Sato.
