What Exactly Is Dothraki Language?
Dothraki is a constructed language (conlang) created by linguist David J. Peterson for HBO’s Game of Thrones. Inspired by George R.R. Martin’s books, it’s a guttural, rhythmic tongue with:
- A warrior’s spirit: Short, sharp words perfect for battle cries (".
- Rich cultural roots: Terms for horses, weapons, and honor dominate the vocabulary.
- No word for ‘thank you’: Gifts are expected, not appreciated—typical Dothraki pragmatism!
