Sam asked David J. Peterson:

Hi David, Interesting to see another language last night from the giant in Hardhome! Was that a new language you created? If so, I'm wondering how you approach a situation like that where there might be a request for only a few lines of dialogue as opposed to a need for a fully fleshed out language? Thanks!

David J. Peterson Funny you should ask: I wasn't really told how little dialogue there was going to be! They said "not much", but, you know, that could be a "not much; just five pages", or "not much; just one short line and that's it". I think if I'd know it was going to be just one line, it would've saved me quite a bit of time. As it was, though, I prepared just the way I would with any language request and did the whole bit. Perhaps we'll see some more giant action in future seasons (Wun Wun escaped!). I hope so. It's a fun language—and Wun Wun was awesome. What a beast! Love him!
