Dothraki a language
Print Edition
CULT television saga “Game of Thrones” may be best known for killing off its leading characters, but a US academic is trying to salvage a language from all the death and destruction.
Like Star Trek’s Klingon before it, the invented language of the Dothraki poeple — an imaginary race of horse-borne warriors — now has a grammar and a vocabulary.
Its creator, linguist David Peterson, began the development of the tongue to add some realism to the dialogue of the fantasy figures, but now plans to develop it into an ongoing shared project.
A course, to be released in November in book form and on a CD will teach the series’ more committed fans phrases such as “khaleesi zheanae” or “the queen is beautiful.”
There will also be Dothraki culture and etiquette tips for the hardcore fans.
