Game of Thrones has taught various languages to their worldwide fans. It all started on April 17, 2011. However, fans are still taken aback by the events in season 8.
Game of Thrones Valyrian and Dothraki languages
Now Game of Thrones fans can speak Valyrian and Dothraki language at their home. In the show, we all have seen the dramatic scene where Daenerys Targaryen says, “Dracarys!” to her young dragon. She orders him to spit fire on her rivals or her enemies. After she utters the word, her enemies die burning alive. Emilia Clarke plays the character of Daenerys Targaryen.
This scene took place in the Game of Thrones season 3 on HBO. It featured the 8,000-strong slave soldiers. Dany decides to give away her young dragon to a slave trader, Kraznys for the soldiers. After she offers the dragon, Kraznys abuses her in the Valyrian language. He thinks that she doesn’t understand the language.
But suddenly she starts speaking Valyrian. She tricks the trader. She says Dracarys to the dragon, which means dragon fire, and a few moments later, Kraznys burns to death. Later on, she says, “Kesy tubi jemot dāervi tepan,” which means “I give you freedom today.”
Dothraki language is mostly spoken by Khal Drogo and his people. The language was created by using perfect translations, grammar, and cultural phrases. Today, Valyrian language has 2,000 official words, and Dothraki has about 4,000 words.
Besides, the online language learning app called Duolingo has also included High Valyrian, and more than 1.2 million people have started the course.
Valyrian language was written by linguist David J. Peterson. Furthermore, he has created more than 50 languages which are mostly used on TV shows and movies.
Moreover, he created the Valyrian language with complete grammar to make it sound a real language.
David used the words from the George R. R. Martin book included in his “A Song of Ice and Fire.” Valar morghulis and Valar dohaeris are the famous words adapted in the series from the book.
