The Klingons were modelled after the North Vietnamese according to Roddenberry. He said he liked their “sternness”.
On the other hand, I always thought the Klingons were supposed to be somewhat like the Mongols.

IIRC, John Colicos, who played Kor, had a hand in giving the Klingons the Mongol-like look; he wanted an alien Genghis Khan.
