Itsi sist. Eksleebire. Ye non hun wesrat horri. Emi non khur uu reshtoeth muirepmi terprai Yesun Khriiston.

"Stop. Go away. You have no power over me. I serve no god just Jesus Christ."

Etsi wesrat khedekareb emi. Emi nebratronak nüllaan. Maa’. Etsi an nat ashgagna non dünasse. Itsi maa’ ebdee nüllaan! Emi nebratronak!

"I have the power to kill. I am your master now. Die. You cannot fight. You must die now! I am your master!"

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!

Samu asked David J. Peterson:

Hey! I just stumbled across Defiance on Netflix and have been binge watching it for a few days. The languages on that show are incredible, and I was just wondering if there was anywhere one could study them a bit? How to spell it, how the grammar works, pronunciation? I'm guessing there's nothing published in paper form at the moment, but is there a possibility that there might be?

Hi David! Big huge fan of yours here with a question relating specifically to Dothraki - you obviously had a small vocabulary to start with from the books; was it harder going into the creation process with words that already existed, or did it make your job easier? Also, have you created languages for written material as well as visual and how does the experience differ? Thanks oodles!
