Game Of Thrones - The Dothraki Language


Steven V
This is pretty interesting and following a fantasy/sci-fi tradition many would associate with JRR Tolkien and the languages he created for his Lord of the Ring series. The stories and culture mixed in to the writing of the Game of Thrones books is amazing and I love that they're adding to the depth of the people therein. Also, with the exception of code created for military purposes, I had no idea that newly created languages have been tried to be legitimately added to society in such recent history; I'm definitely going to have to read more about them.

Hollywood is driving demand for constructed languages, complete with grammatical rules, a written alphabet (hieroglyphics are acceptable) and enough vocabulary for basic conversations.
