I always wanted to know how such language were created. Human talents are amazing, for David Peterson, creating a language is like painting, or designing a machine.

@keegster7167 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, exactly. But David Peterson is hardly the only conlanger. There are many others.

As soon as I heard Dothraki I thought it sounded like Arabic. As an Arabic speaker I thought it was awesome but unfortunately some people arent happy about this for stupid reasons.

+Kingly Fiber How does Valyrian sound to you?

@seand.g423 7 жыл бұрын

+big bad wolf: well, obviously, it's intended as a Stand-in for Latin, and to me, frankly, it fucking shows. only other difference seems to be switching inevitable lead poisoning for a monochrome Hulk trip.

@h3lblad3 6 жыл бұрын

Despite being a stand-in for Latin, I wouldn't doubt it if there was some bleed-in from Arabic. So far as I understand it, Arabic is one of his favorite languages and part of what started him on the path to making his own.

@Nehmi 5 жыл бұрын

I speak Arabic as well, but Dothraki doesn't sound like Arabic to me. I think if the actors pronounced the Q as an Arabi Qaaf, it might. High Valyrian sounds Slavic to me like Russian or Ukrainian. And I've noticed that most speakers of High Valyrian are not pronouncing the Y as a French Y or a German U-umlaut, which they should.

This interview was very interesting....thank you. Getting an interview from someone who works off camera/behind the scenes is a nice switch up from speaking with the actors. Always love learning about the different jobs that indirectly affect the development of film/tv. Who would have thought making up a language would be so complex. I have heard that studying Linguistics is not what one might think it would be.

Not only is this guy a master at creating languages - he's really good at getting normal people excited about conlangs, and all around a great communicator. He's just as charismatic when speaking to more technical audiences on the finer details of conlanging. His talks at Google are worth checking out, which you can find on KZfaq if you're interested. In one of them he relates an anecdote from the set of one of his shows, so he does get invited on-set at least some of the time.

McDucky Conlanging is way easier to become good at than most things. And I conlang. Sure when most start out they tend to make bad languages. But it's no where near the amount of work to learn guitar, or program. Creating a language is far easier than learning one.

His book on language creation goes more deeply into this statistic - it turns out these "number of words in the language" figures depend a lot on what exactly counts as a separate word. "Cat" vs "cats", "paint" vs "painter"...

I love how people like Tolkien created fictional languages that sound legit since they took inspiration from real life languages of both the past and today, while JK Rowling’s languages(whatever she did) unfortunately sounded more like cooky and made-up child-like gibberish.

Renato Medeiros obviously it depends on your native language, alot of European languages such as Finnish, Hungarian and russian have very hard grammar but for learning to read write and speak middle eastern and far eastern languages tend to be the hardest. It's all relative to what goal you have.
