Behold. Our official language map of Essos
Me: I’m going to get so much writing done tonight!
*ends up spending 40 minutes on the phone with my anthropologist sister assigning languages to the different free cities to give me a better reference when writing*
#and by that i mean she did most of the work while i occasionally chimed in trying to help make suggestions#i was holding on to this conversation by the tips of my fingers#this must be what it’s like when i talk about medical stuff#honestly yes i needed a reference for how easily helaena would understand a language#we went with the premise high Valyrian is Latin#house of the dragon#house of the dragon fanfic#hotd fanfic#mine#ao3#into the storm series#into the eye update#into the eye

Oh yeah that was the basis of this map was if high Valyrian was Latin, what would the other city states be? (And then for plot reasons I requested Braavos be a language that would be really hard for a Latin speaker to understand. Which apparently made this difficult for her but we got there!)
