'Game of Thrones' Linguist on Constructing Dothraki, Valyrian

'Game of Thrones' linguist David J. Peterson told 'Rolling Stone' how he developed the Dothraki and Valyrian languages for the acclaimed HBO series. Peterson recently worked with Canada Dry on their latest marketing campaign where he created a new language that better defines the word “busy.”

Cool! All my life i have invented my own languages as a child. I love languages, i created alphabets and phrases to speak in secret with friends or even to hide secret notes for myself. Congrats to David for creating two beautiful and successful languages for the series! I created my first Youtube video today and I said 'WINTER IS COMING' in 60 Languages... I wonder if anyone wants to check it out? I hope I did Valyrian justice haha, Enjoy my video and enjoy the last episode tonight everyone!

when he talked about that scene in season 4 I thought oh no I can't watch that I just startef watching GoT but then I realised that I'm already in season 4😱 I'm watching this so fast I don't even remember I'm already in season 4.. The thing is I don't want it to end but I can't stop watching..😭😍😍

Sounds like a combination of Syriac, Arabic, and Hindi

this postposition thing seems to come from Estonian or smth similar. :) we are big on postpositions here, and almost no prepositions. so, in Estonian 'in front of Daenerys' would be 'Daeneryse ees' - name in genitive. like, literally: 'you stand [at] Daenerys's front' :)

What happens to the languages Valyrian, Na'vi and Elven(LOTR) when the movies and tv shows go out of style.

[JBrd]

It (High Valyrian) all sounded the same from Danaerys's (Emilia Clarke's) mouth...
How many times does she verbally say "kos kos dowd", yet every time it has a different meaning?

[oldones]

Rolling Stone stopped being a worthwhile read, when it changed to a glossy from a newspaper, and substituted gibberish for music.
