#that includes explaining the valyrian phrase ?

[shaysplanet]

Do you have any drs where you added a language?

my custom fantasy dr (pyre & reign) has a completely different language than the ones here. we don’t speak english. not even a little bit. there’s a shared tongue between continents which is the eldest language in that reality. then there’s different dialects of the official language on my continent and it’s called Ankhari.

this language is inspired by Dothraki and high Valyrian from the asoiaf canon but there are many differences.

nobles speak a different form of Ankhari than the commonfolk. the commonfolk speak a more ancient form but we understand each other all the same. they just have different phrases from us. for instance, a title that is given to me from the commonfolk is “zaldrīzes azma” which means “princess of flame” in old Ankhari. when they use this term to call out to me, i’m initially confused by what they’re saying. “princess” in our written language is “althraena” so if a noble wanted to address me in the same way, they’d say “althraena fyris”. so that’s a cool lil tidbit.

the language revolves around that in which we worship—the divine flame. so many phrases will include the usage of fire, flame, burning away or the divine in some context. it makes things sound a lot poetic than necessary lol.

i hope this explained things well enough.

So do you think Dany and Jon are just two Heads of the Dragon? and if so, who do you think is the third? my money's on Bran as like, the Ice Representative to balance out Dany's fire and Jon's Ice/Fire dealies.

Thank you for this ask, sorry it took ages to respond.

Say that we know (or we think we know) that two "heads" of "the dragon" are Jon and Dany—insofar as we even think we understand what that phrase is supposed to mean (an assumption that I think is worth questioning as well, but that's not a task for now).

Here's what I love about this question—the issue of "who/what is the 'third head'" comes up as a literal question in a religious sense when Arya is talking to the Sailor's Wife in Braavos. There's a statue to the god Trios, and the Sailor's Wife can't tell us the purpose of one of the heads:

Three-headed Trios has that tower with three turrets. The first head devours the dying, and the reborn emerge from the third. I don't know what the middle head's supposed to do.

GRRM is definitely referencing the concept of the "three headed (dragon)" when he invented Trios; the imagery is too central and too specific for that not to be the case. What's fun, of course, is that we're all asking ourselves the same thing—what (or who) is that middle head?

I like your suggestion about Bran. It's a pretty unorthodox idea, because most people assume/expect that the three heads of the "dragon" must be Targaryen or at least Valyrian... but I don't think one needs Valyrian blood to ride a dragon, so as far as I'm concerned Bran is an option. He's a cool idea, too, because of his attachment to the North, the far North, and maybe even the "Ice" concept, like you say. Bran's also a powerful skinchanger—or, in training to be one—and there's not a doubt in my mind we're going to see some dragons get skinchanged. GRRM has been asked about that idea before and he's gleefully dodged answering it.

That would also be interesting because it's worth remembering that Jon is technically not canonically a Targaryen (yet), or even a contender to be a "head of the dragon" (yet). We think we've figured it out (and we probably have) but it's still technically a mystery. In that sense, then, if I was going to lean on the comparison with Trios, I would say: perhaps by now we should have met the first "head" —the "death" head—and we should have met the last head— "rebirth" head—so we should be missing this middle head whose purpose we don't know. However, we think we've figured out that Jon is the marriage of Ice and Fire, so maybe he's the "unknown" middle head—and then Dany is, on one side, the "rebirth" head (of fire?), and we should have met the "death" head (of ice?) already, but we don't know who it might be. Perhaps it's Bran!

If I'm being honest, I personally haven't thought too much about solving the third head of the dragon issue. It's clear to me that some key piece of the puzzle is being intentionally obscured from our view, so it feels like a fool's errand to be confident in solving it at this point. I realize that's a lame answer, but it's the truth—I try to approach these things beginning with how they work in the story and how they work with the symbolism at play, so without being sure how the "three heads" are even supposed to work I haven't tried to solve this mystery.

If there are truly three people who are going to be the "three heads of the dragon," I think the rules of good storytelling limit our options to characters that were introduced in AGOT. If we limit that to POVs—which is not necessarily a valid assumption, but I think is likely—then that's only Tyrion, Bran, Arya, or Sansa. I'm torn on the common "Tyrion Targaryen" theory... I don't really like it, but it would explain why he's included as a POV in AGOT and why he makes the shortlist for possibilities here (among other things). Bran would be a much more interesting option, though.

The thing is, I'm ultimately not convinced the "three heads" are going to work like we expect. Yes, it's said that Aegon, Rhaenys, and Visenya were the "three heads," but who knows if the common understanding of that is true? Plus, the person who presents the idea to Dany of the need for "three heads" to ride the three dragons is Jorah... who I don't think knows shit about dragons. So my mind is wide open when it comes to possible interpretations of the "three heads of the dragon."

Ooh I can take a crack at this! Translation for English speakers:

From The Lord of the Rings To Dune: How To Create A Language

The creators of new languages for works of fiction explain how they invented the likes of Chakobsa or Valyrian.

(Original article by Jaime Rubio Hancock, 31.03.2024)

The Fremen people of the movie Dune live in the desert, where we find Paul Atreides, the saga's protagonist, and they speak a language called "Chakobsa". In Frank Herbert's books, the language appears as phrases and random words, but for the movies (directed by Denis Villenueve) - especially the second film - something more was needed. So linguists Jessie & David J Peterson created an entire language, complete with vocabulary, morphology and grammar.

As they explained in a video call, it's not always necessary to construct an entire language for a book:

"The author can control what the reader sees and hears," David explains, "And maybe it's enough to simply say that 'they [the characters] speak in their language". But in a show or a movie it's not so easy to use those kinds of techniques because the audience sees what the cameras show. For this reason, it's often not enough to include the odd phrase like, "Vii minaazashaho vejii ho Chausij?" ("Do you really think he's the Chosen One?") You might also need to know how to say, "Nice coffee, mate," ("Oggori cheshii, e akshahii,") in addition to putting together a structure to help create new words and phrases if they're needed.

The Petersons began with some terms included in Herbert's novels, in a language influenced by Romani and Slavic languages with terms from Arabic. These elements served as a starting point, in a project similar to that of Dothraki and Valyrian from the series Game of Thrones (adapted from the languages included in the works of George R. R. Martin), which David worked on alone.

Although they were not starting entirely from scratch, constructing a language may seem to be an unfathomable task. Where do you begin? Is it enough just to invent a list of words? How does the grammar work? How should it sound? These are some of the steps addressed by language creators (called ideolinguists, or more commonly, conlangers).

The Precursors: There have been constructed languages since long before fantasy and science fiction sagas: about nine centuries ago, religious figure and philosopher Hildegard of Bingen invented her "lingua ignota". This language, as David J. Peterson explains in his book The Art Of Language Invention, is more a list of words similar to Latin, created with aesthetic and religious objectives, but it's still one of the first examples of how the more than 7,000 languages spoken worldwide may fall short for us.

Precisely, one of the first language creators wanted to put something in order after the fall of the Tower of Babel. As Umberto Eco wrote in The Search For The Perfect Language (17th or 18th century), there were dozens of attempts to create a logical, universal language that would avoid the semantic differences [of natural languages] and which would help us come to rational, indisputable conclusions. However, the work of thinkers such as John Wilkins, Joachim Becher and Cave Beck never resolved any great philosophical dispute. Nor did any attempts to create an auxhiliary international language to help avoid international conflicts - such as Volapuk, created in 1879 by German religious figure Johann Martin Schleyer, or Esperanto, created in 1887 by Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof - come to aught.

The first writer to use a completely constructed language was J. R. R. Tolkien. The British author of The Lord of the Rings, first published in 1954, worked for decades on vocabulary and grammar for Elvish languages such as Sindarin and Quenya.

2. First Things First: Culture. In his book, Peterson emphasizes the importance Tolkien gave to the history and culture of his world: languages are not just experiments and mind games (although they can be both those things) - they are born in a society and they evolve alongside it. This could be our history if, for example, we wanted to invent another language derived from Latin, but we could also situate ourselves in a completely different world, as happens with the languages of Game of Thrones. We could also create alien languages, as David J. Peterson did for the series Defiance, creating five languages for different races of extraterrestrial humanoids.

In the case of Dune, Jessie & David J. Peterson had to distance themselves from some of the ideas of the novels, in order to take into account what we know about the evolution of language. In the books, many of the words on the planet Arrakis are identical to those used on Earth, despite thousands of years having passed. "It's not reasonable for them to be recognizable," David explains.

Some language creators also build entire worlds, such as American writer Mark Rosenfelder, creator of Verdurian, a language spoken by 55million people on the planet Almea in his book In The Land Of Babblers. On videocall, Rosenfelder recounted that when working on a new language, he begins with a very detailed culture and takes into account the geography, economy, customs and history of the speakers.

3. Know your fundamentals. Jessie and David J. Peterson explain that they prefer to begin with the system of sounds used in the language and later move onto the morphology, syntax and the rest of the grammar system. They move from the most basic to the most complex parts of languge creation, in order to build on solid foundations.

There are dozens of questions. Which consonants and vowels do you need? Are there cases, as there are in Latin? Is the word order of a sentence fixed? How do you indicate plurality? How are verbs conjugated? Do you need a different writing system, like in Chakobsa? It could also be a sign language - for Dune, the Petersons also created the "battle language" of the Atreides, although in this case it's treated more like a code than a language.

Constructing words, Jessie Peterson's favourite part, doesn't only consist of inventing a list of terms that sound unusual. "It's not about saying, for example, that 'this word means sheet', but about knowing the structure of the words and applying it." It's a little like how in Spanish we do not simply adopt new words (for example, tuit, meaning "tweet"), but create derivatives in a natural way (tuitear, meaning "to tweet"; tuitero, meaning "author of a tweet, tweeter")

One question that doesn't have an easy answer is when to stop. When can we decide that the language is "finished"? The answer is usually "When the linguist (or the producer of the film the linguist is working on) decides that that is enough". Which could be never - Rosenfelder continues working on Verdurian even 30 years after first publishing the language online.

4. Why are we creating the language? Only a few languages are created for a work of fiction. Aside from the ones already mentioned, you could add Na'vi from the movie Avatar, created by linguist Paul Frommer, or Klingon, created for Star Trek by Marc Okrand. This is one of the most well-known and popular conlangs, with translations of Shakespeare, dictionaries and original works, as well as Learn Klingon courses on language apps.

Rosenfelder explains that creating a complete language for a novel or series - your own or someone else's - is not always necessary, although "It can add attractiveness and realism". But there are thousands of conlangers making languages purely for pleasure, and without thinking about whether it could end up in a film or book. They share their creations in forums, where they receive comments from other conlangers on how to improve their work, and often they begin with Rosenfelder's online guide, published online in 1996 and later expanded upon in various books.

Some of the Petersons' favourite languages are exactly those invented by conlangers just for fun. In his book, David speaks about Rikchik, a language invented by Denis Moskowitz for a race of intelligent aliens who communicate with their seven tentacles. Rosenfelder adds the example of Fith, created by Jeffrey Henning with a structure similar to that of some computer programming languages. As Jessie Peterson explains, "When someone constructs a language, they can express their creativity throughout the entire process." In her opinion, it's about "the best way of playing with language."

Very nice conlang article in El País with me and Jessie if you can read Spanish.

3x04 - When Mhysa Became Master

I'm on such a GoT kick right now which is weird since I'm rewatching Stranger Things, still in the middle of The Boys, and checking out other shows. But, here we are.

I've always loved this scene because it is such a powerful one for Daenerys but rewatching this, man it's just so impactful and continues to lay the groundwork for what's to come, not only in the last season but even season 5.

This really was a brilliant scene and masterfully sets up the Breaker of Chains arc for her. But besides the obvious clues we get about dark!Dany now looking back, there are a few subtle ones here that I definitely missed myself.

1) "A dragon is not a slave"

While I knew that the "Mhysa is Master" was playing under the surface here, and that Dany is really talking about herself (and Drogon who represents her) with this phrase, I could never quite put it into words of a good enough argument/point (to explain when having debates with the Dany-was-a-hero-to-the-end crowd I mean) to showcase just why Dany makes her speech to the Unsullied and offers to let them go should they choose to do so besides the obvious manipulations. But now, after rewatching this scene, I finally got my answer.

Those who saw Dany's dark nature, those who saw it upon rewatch after the series ended, we all know this speech was done in order to gain loyal followers. After all, who would fight harder for you: people who are paid to fight for you, people who are forced to fight for you, or people who believe in you? And as much as I hate to say it, she chose the army well. Not only was their reputation fierce and their strength ruthless when called upon, but they were essentially a slave army.

During the conquering of Astapor, what does she do? She holds the whip and tests it out. Sure enough, the Unsullied follow her commands and when she is assured she has control, she then makes her move. By commanding the Unsullied to slay the masters, to slay the soldiers, and to strike off the chains off of every slave they see. I'll go into this a bit further below, but ultimately, Dany has equated herself to a slave. "A dragon is not a slave" is said to Kraznys when he says what line? "Tell the bitch her beast won't come." Because Drogon is chained and he is resisting Kraznys, refusing to heed his commands. A lot of people thought at the time that she may have been reacting to him calling her a bitch but she's not. She didn't react the other times he did, including just before she tests out her commands on the Unsullied. Some thought she waited until she had the Unsullied, some thought she chose the moment carefully; they were all correct.

The fact that the sequence goes like this:

Dany (aka her commanding them) - "Unsullied! Forward march! Halt!"

Kraznys - (after failing to command Drogon): "Tell the bitch her beast won't come."

Dany - "A dragon is not a slave."

It's brilliant (I hate to give D&D any kudos after that finale buttttt they did get it right here) and very powerful. In a subtle way, she is letting us the audience (as well as Kraznys and everyone) know that she is in control, and she is no slave. She now holds the whip. Literally.

She purposely chose that moment to make it known that she knew Valyrian to Kraznys because she now had his and everyone else's attention, including ours. And she purposely at that moment made it known that she is no slave. Dragons do not play well with others and she even says it herself with that line, they do not take orders or follow others. She then commands the Unsullied (again, while holding the whip) to kill all of the Masters and those who protect them. (a precursor of things to come aka getting rid of anyone who doesn't bend the knee and/or stands in her way so basically "What do dragons eat anyway?" "Whatever they want"). Then, once the thing is done, she mounts a white horse and makes her speech to the Unsullied.

2) "Mhysa is Master"

When she makes the speech to the Unsullied after the conquest, she tells them that they are free and that anyone who wants to leave will be able to do so safely should he choose it:

"You have been slaves all your life. Today you are free." - she is making sure not only to remind them of who they were before she came along but also who freed them

"Any man who wishes to leave may leave, and no one will harm him. I give you my word."

Then she asks the them if they will fight for her:

"Will you fight for me? As free men?"

That is when the Unsullied start thumping their spears to show her support and they choose to join her and fight for her.

At the time, a lot of people thought 'Oh, the Unsullied are grateful, she freed them, of course they would join her, she is the Breaker of Chains after all.' But they're only half right. We find out as does Dany that these are boys that have been taken from their families at a very young age to be castrated and start training. Brutal training that is designed to strip them of their empathy and the sole purpose of following orders: a slave army. Had they chosen to leave, where would these soldiers have gone? They have no families, no home outside of the one they just helped to sack, they're eunuchs so they unfortunately cannot go start families of their own should they choose to, the only thing they have ever known is the life of an Unsullied. And here's the thing: Daenerys knows this. So of course she is going to make that offer, knowing full well what the end result was most likely going to be. Not to mention, she just freed them. One thing Daenerys is, whether you love her or hate her, is shrewd. She is keenly intelligent and actually is brilliant in her tactics at times (regardless of whether they were wrong or not) which makes her a more than worthy player of the game, and correctly as one of the main contestants and last parties standing near the end. It absolutely makes sense that she is the one to be able to overturn the Lannister rule in Westeros, not only because she is a Targaryen (the last ruling family before the Lannisters) but also because she is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her goal and what she believes is hers by right/destiny.

So, she's very well aware that she just had a slave army turn on their own masters and fight for their freedom gain her an army. That's powerful stuff because wouldn't it make sense that they would look at that afterwards and go, oh we weren't able to do this until this person came along and made it okay for us to do it? Even if they never thought of it before, they've now made the mental link of her representing their freedom, even before she says it. Brilliant. Tactics. (not saying it's right at all, just saying she is very cunning & calling it what it is, intelligent -> which also leads to the arc that GRRM intended for her from the beginning: a powerful figure that grew in strength and power and was beheld by all to be the savior when really they were the worst possible person to put in power because power corrupts)

(another example of her using this type of manipulation)

(another example of her using this type of manipulative tactic btw - this is presumably when Dany and Grey Worm discussed their plans for KL before Jon arrived - as if Missandei never told Grey Worm what she brought with her, especially after he had been so vulnerable with her but I digress, this is to solidify Grey Worm's loyalty and determination to help her carry out her plans to rip the Lannisters out root and stem, to use his anger and pain to her advantage, why else save Missandei's collar for that moment & offer it to Grey Worm, another former slave? when it could have happened before Varys' execution? when she was mourning Missandei and Rhaegal?)

(yep)

But back to the 3x04 moment:

And here's even more of a kicker, Dany is still holding the whip as she makes this speech. She only drops it to the ground after the Unsullied has agreed to fight for her and they are marching out of Astapor. Thus we get that powerful image of her tossing it and of the soldiers stepping over it. On the surface, it speaks to freedom overcoming the slavery that was happening. She is now officially the "Breaker of Chains". But in reality, this is the first trickling of "bend the knee or die" theme that will continue to play throughout her story in the series that gets darker and darker as time passes. Their freedom that she offered wasn't real. If it was, they would have never had her holding the whip in her hand as she mounted the horse. They would have never included that shot of her tossing the whip. She could have tossed it before she got on the horse to indicate that her offer of their freedom was genuine. It makes you wonder just what she would have done had one of the Unsullied stepped forward and said "yeah, thanks for freeing me and all, but no thanks, I think I'm gonna get a nice little house by the sea but best of luck with that and everything". She wouldn't have been able to do much about a whole army should every single one of them decided to take off but a few? 10-20 max? It would have been very interesting. And like I said, she knew that 95% of them weren't going anywhere. She could have easily had the Unsullied line the Masters up and done what she does in Mereen or even later on in KL. She could have taken control of the city then and only killed the soldiers. But no, she wanted the Unsullied to kill their masters and to free their fellow slaves, because it served her interests in the long run.

And they even solidify this later on in season 5 when they revisit slavery in Mereen and how one of the former slaves asks if he can be sold back to his master. Dany doesn't understand and is outraged (because again, 'why would a dragon be willing to go back into chains? plus, I am your savior and rescued you from slavery, how dare you?') but eventually allows it, with conditions. It is to be done her way, she is the one that gets to decide, and that is that. 'Be thankful, old man' basically. And while this is also meant to show that Dany doesn't know the culture of the people she's conquered (and that she didn't even consider some of her supposed subjects or what issues might arise because again 'conquer, conquer, conquer') which foreshadows her time in Westeros and her less than stellar reception by the Westerosi, it also proves again yet another fact of her story: Mhysa is Master.

3) The Savior Of All...or is she?

Dany has just conquered Astapor and killed the "evil men". This should be a victorious moment for her, for all really. So why do we get a shot of her like this?

Why do we see her dark silhouette here? Why is she still holding the whip? (At this point, the city has been conquered and all the evil men are dead so why is the whip still needed if she was about to offer the Unsullied freedom?) Why is she blocking the sun here? Why do they have smoke billowing through as Jorah makes his way over to her? For realism? Not so much. If this is a victorious conquest done for the right reasons, you don't include a shot like this afterwards:

Because this is an "evil man", right? A master? So why do we care that he's dead? Isn't it good that he's dead? So why would we be shown not only his charred body but him on his back, with his hand up as if to protect himself or as if he was in pain as he died? And again, why the smoke? And why is it the same type of image we see in 7x04, 7x05, 8x05 and 8x06? If these are all "evil men" then why did they choose to put this in here? At this moment right when she becomes the Breaker of Chains? ...uh huh.

And why are we shown this right before we are shown the Unsullied troops and Dany walking among them?

And why did she need to get on the horse to speak to them and make this speech when she had no problem commanding them before the mayhem (meaning it was less than quiet before this moment) from the front?

(because she needed to be above them, literally, and she needed for all of them to see her - at the time she gave the orders, they didn't need to see her, they just needed to follow her commands; this also shows the similar beginning of both dialogues by calling out to the Unsullied the way she does btw)

Why did they decide to not only have Dany up front in this shot but to match her outfit to Missandei's while showing the exact opposite in the coloring of the fabrics? In the same sequence all of the Unsullied are again below her?

(it's not because Dany is the queen they all chose here or because she's royalty at all, it's because Missandei was gifted to her when Dany went to buy the Unsullied and she now belongs to Dany, which is why they put that blue lining into Missandei's cape but gave Dany that one white shoulder while Missandei's same shoulder is bare - they purposely were trying to show you this through the contrast besides all the obvious clues with the lighting, the framing, and the music cues -> Dany is not a savior here or a breaker of chains, these people unfortunately are still in chains, but different ones: Dany's)

And even more so, why during the rightful conquest, do we see this image?

After hearing a man screaming in pain in the background as Drogon lights the place up? And why does the camera then focus on the puff of smoke that rises from all of this and they choose to end their shot there before it transitions into the charred man above?

Dany is not a savior or even a liberator. When she liberates people, it's not a good thing. But this is how she grew in power and notoriety on this side of the sea: she not only gave these people something they had never seen before (dragons who had been extinct until hers were born & her unable to be burned) and then continued to do so/utilized that to gain more and more followers. Think of the image she gave the Khalasar at Vaes Dothrak after killing the Khals. Every single Dothraki bent the knee. Think of the speech she gave the Dothraki. (from a white horse to a dragon btw) Think of Kinvara's scene with Varys and Tyrion, and how the Red Priests and Red Priestesses were willing to spread the word about Dany. That they were convinced that she is the one who was promised by their Lord of Light. She was even able to sway Tyrion to her side, who didn't believe in anyone before her as he says.

Belief was her greatest weapon. Not just others' belief in her but also her own belief in herself and what she considered to be her destiny.

And she knew exactly how to use it.

That's not a savior or a hero.

This scene really set it all up. Not that there weren't hints before, but whoa did we get a glimpse underneath the surface once she got an army at her disposal. Powerful, powerful stuff.

[racefortheironthrone]

To this: "Do you think that the later Targaryens are aware that "the blood of the dragon" phrase might be more than just metaphorical? How do you think Dany would react?" you said no and badly. What they mean abou the blood of the dragon phrase? What does it mean that it might be more than just metaphorical

"Sheltered there, amidst the great volcanic mountains known as the Fourteen Flames, were the Valyrians, who learned to tame dragons and make them the most fearsome weapon of war that the world ever saw. The tales the Valyrians told of themselves claimed they were descended from dragons and were kin to the ones they now controlled.

The great beauty of the Valyrians—with their hair of palest silver or gold and eyes in shades of purple not found amongst any other peoples of the world—is well-known, and often held up as proof that the Valyrians are not entirely of the same blood as other men. Yet there are maesters who point out that, by careful breeding of animals, one can achieve a desirable result, and that populations in isolation can often show quite remarkable variations from what might be regarded as common. This may be a likelier answer to the mystery of the Valyrian origins although it does not explain the affinity with dragons that those with the blood of Valyria clearly had.”

“In Septon Barth’s Dragons, Wyrms, and Wyverns , he speculated that the bloodmages of Valyria used wyvern stock to create dragons.” (WOIAF)

I guess I’ve never spelled this out explicitly, but here goes:

Valyrian magic was entirely based on fire and blood. This latter included the use of sorcery to cross-breed species that cannot normally breed; i.e breeding non-flying firewyrms with non-firebreathing wyverns to create dragons.

Scholars know that the Valyrians’ appearance may be related to selective breeding, and that the Valyrians claimed to be biologically part-dragon.

What is the conclusion? Valyrian bloodmages gave Valyrian dragonriders the ability to tame/control dragons by “splicing” in dragon DNA, so that the dragons of Valyria would recognize Valyrians as “kin” rather than “prey.” 

This did not involve CRISPR, but “careful breeding.”

Part 1 Do you have any conlangs? I'm making one/two, but I don't know if it's enough. My story follows characters that live in different parts of the content (and when they eventually meet, I want them to be able to understand each other without the translator) and I don't really feel like making a conlang for every single country.

Part 2 Would it be realistic for 8 or so kingdoms to speak one language with different dialects (but still be able to understand each other)? Or should I make 'English' (called something else in my story) my Latin? Sorry if I sound confusing.

Part 3 My idea is to have a language barrier that further separates already isolated West (they will befrom the rest of the continent so I am leaning towards the one language with different dialects solution, but I am not sure. I really need your advice! You are my savior! Thank you for your time! Again, sorry if I sound confusing! And sorry for long ask!

I do have about five languages in the entire world of TTK, which includes Thirteen Kingdoms, about 8 city states, two continents. This is mainly because I took inspiration from 16th century Europe: where the most popular spoken languages were English, French, German, Italian, Spanish but Latin or French were used as an common languages interchangeable through borders.

Most fantasy novels do include lands divided by tongue and dialects as only natural since they take from our own world. GRRM is an example for this. Every city in Essos save the Dothraki Sea, speak a dialect of Valyrian, the language of their conquerors and founds. Even Slaver's Bay's language of Ghiscari is a mangled version of Valyrian. Dialects are common in continents even in countries. Ireland has numerous dialects of Gaelige: Munster, Connaught and Ulster/Donegal. They have the same bones but different inflections and pronunciation. I can honestly say it is a pain in the arse to listen to another dialect of a language you sort of know, as you are translating somebody's else's languages as you are translating your own words in your head.

The one thing I will advise is to write the history of your land first. When you track the wars, invasions, alliances, you can literally track language. Dialects are caused when language is effected by other languages. Strictly speaking from an Irish point of view, we do not speak English but a hybrid sort of English known as Hibernian English which leads us to use Gaelige structure and phrases with English words and not realise it. I was in my last year of school when my English teacher pointed it out for us. For example an Irish person would not say that someone yelled at them, they would say someone "gave out to them" which comes from the Gaelige as a direct translation. Dialects are a bastards of two languages crossing over. It is up to you to build the history to explain the dialect.

[pr]

please tell me this sanitized version of arya stark's story. like i am dying to hear this version of events that included high valyrian call and response but managed to exclude literally everything else besides "smol girl fite" apparently.

Taken from a friend of a friend.

This friend of mine has been very consciously raising her young daughter outside of stereotypical gender norms. They’ve done quite a number on my friend, and she’s like, “Nope, my kid’s life will be different.”

Her daughter is small for her age, and will probably remain small. This has affected her self-confidence. Earlier this year, my friend decided to tell her daughter a slightly sanitized version of Arya Stark’s journey in GoT, to basically demonstrate how a small girl could learn to be badass.

Six months go by, and the daughter turns from 5 to 6. Her mom asks her what she wants for her birthday. The daughter says, “I want to learn how to fight.” So my friend, who has zero martial arts experience, looks up a place, and they go there.

The moment they get there, my friend is thinking, “This may not be the right place.” It’s a Krav Maga/MMA gym. Lots of burly dudes beating the crap out of each other, basically. Not your kid-friendly karate dojo.

But she doesn’t want to tell her daughter that they have to leave because the place is filled with intimidating men – it would pretty much fly in the face of everything she’s trying to teach her. So she says, “Okay. I don’t know if they have a kid���s class here. Why don’t you go ask who the teacher is, and then ask them?”

So her daughter walks up to one dude, asks for the teacher, then gets pointed to this tattooed, musclebound dude with his head shaved and a goatee. As my friend put, “The guy looked like your bigger, meaner younger brother.”

She trails behind her kid a bit, ready to step in, and listens in. Her daughter walks up the guy and says, “Hi! Do you have classes for kids? I want to learn how to fight.”

The guy looks down at this wee little girl, and he says, “Uh, well, no, we don’t really. Maybe I can talk to your mom and suggest some places for you? This isn’t really a place for little girls.”

Her daughter reaches into her jacket pocket, pulls out a nickel, holds it out to the guy and says, “Valar morghulis.”

The guy takes the nickel, looks at it, then says, totally deadpan: “Valar dohaeris. Of course I can teach you.”

The mom comes over and says, “I thought you said you didn’t have kid’s classes?” The guy says, “We do now. Come into the office and we’ll work up a training schedule.” The mom: “Do you have any idea how much it’ll cost?” The guy holds up the nickel. “She’s already paid up.”
