"on a TV budget" and "on an HBO TV budget" can be widely different animals, heh

One thing I heard about Dothraki is that they actually have a whole bunch of words for "horse", because obviously they would. If they're dealing with horses so much, the distinction between a workhorse or a warhorse or a breeding horse is actually really useful. Unfortunately, no one knew which horses they were gonna get on screen until they started filming, so DJP couldn't put specific words in the script, like "take this mare back to the stables" only for the horse actor to end up being a stallion.

DJP making his wife's name translate into Good Duck in Dothraki is very wholesome.

Good lord, I forgot The Office was on the air long enough to reference GoT.

The professionalism in this is great, but I have to admit that I kinda miss your jabs and jokes. Maybe this was just an episode where you reviewed a conlang you actually respected so you didn't have as much to joke about, but I think that relaxed atmosphere added a lot of personality to your videos. I hope you can find a way to be more informal without being unstudied in your future videos

So you're starting the season with Dothraki and ending it with Quenya? Quite, poetic

2:25 CC: "It sounds alot like arabic or russian to people who don't speak arabic or russian." Me, a native arabic speaker: *spits out arabic coffee*

In Hebrew, the expression for notice/pay attention translates literally to "Put in your heart", similar to care in Dothraki.

Tbh I’m Arab and Dothraki sounds a lot like Arabic “ana” means me in both Dothraki and Arabic also my love in Dothraki is moon of my life, in Arabic we say “gamar hayati” = moon of my life.

9:08 Wait, "vash" means "stampede" in Dothraki? Haha, yes! That moment when you sneak a subtle Trigun reference into your fictional language.

David J. Peterson has an incredible talent for doing really cool and interesting conlangs that are attached to things I have no interest in watching. Trigedasleng is one of my top five conlangs of all time but I couldn't get through two episodes of the 100.

This feels like a student trying to grade his teacher.

Breadspeak BREADSPEAK PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, ADD BREADSPEAK TO THE BIG LIST, I DONT CARE HOW LONG IT TAKES JUST PLEASE DO IT

J.K Rowling announced that you, the viewer, were David Petersen all along

Nobody going to mention the (accidental) jab by using "ido" for fake/wooden?

The actors in the show (At least early on) go all over in pronunciation. Most pronounce Khaleesi as Kalisi

There's nothing wrong with SVO, it's a very common word order, almost on par with SOV. It would be much weirder to have to make your conlang look exotic in every way (especially if it's spoken by humans, in a universe similar to ours).

I love Peterson's work, each language he's made has always had depth that Klingon (still one of my favorites because Star Trek) lacks. I like Dothraki's phonotactics and Nahuatl-esque vowel inventory a lot, although, I noticed in your sample, just like in Japanese, a tendency towards pseudo-diphthongs (use of a diphthong despite it not being part of the blackletter phonology), which I think is more organic than explicitly separating the sounds for rigid phonological agreement.

Watching conlang critic while conlanging

F for Dothraki, went extinct in 1 Cavalry Charge

This channel is making me realize how truly terrible my conlang I built in high school was lmao. I'm truly glad you like base 6, cause at that point that's like the only positive I can really say about it.

Yes. I'm really excited for the rest of the season now. This is a really good start.

this new format is glorious

Those jabs at GoT tho lmao. I have loved the show since the beginning, and although it SERIOUSLY fell from grace which is a damn shame, all the seasons where you'd hear Dothraki spoken for more than just a few words (which is pretty much s1-4) are some of the best tv that exists in my opinion. Awesome video btw, channels like yours are such an inspiration when I'm either bored out of my mind or overwhelmed with linguistics homework and need motivation to do that morphosyntax analysis that I've been procrastinating for longer than I'd care to admit. So thank you. Apart from the great editing and obvious enthusiasm for the topic, your expertly done communication of knowledge and conscise wording are extremely helpful. So thanks for doing what you do.

YO I LOVED THE RHYTHM HEAVEN MUSIC AT THE END THANK YOU

Awesome episode! I also recently found my brother’s copy of that Doþraki guide. I can’t wait for Sindarin and Quenya!

Please cover NeoKhuzdul(Dwarrow Scholar has the most updated and developed information regarding it) & Nadsat(from Clockwork Orange)!!! Super excited to see you cover the Dothraki language!!!

Next language: Quenya. I started studying it and it's beautiful

"Vash", part of a phrase that translates to stampede. :D Does anyone know if D.J.P.'s a fan of Trigun?

"con this lang" is a great phrase, I'm taking it

Hangonaminit... Vash hrazefmen... Stampede horse-empty... Vash... the Stampede!!! :O :O

I loved this episode. Can you do one about high valyrian

Oh damn you would be doing Quenya last. It's the language that got me into conlangs, so I'll eagerly wait for it.

Definitely a huge step up in quality! Looking forward to seeing more!

You should rate High Valyrian. I have tried to learn it but never really gotten past the noun cases or noun plurals.

it genuinely blows my mind how believable this language is. you could show me any chart saying it's from say, some random language in papua new guinea, and i wouldn't be the wiser. very refreshing contrast against the languages you analyzed from star trek or skyrim or avatar.

Militarily, the Dothraki are light cavalry with the macho ethos of charging into infantry formations. They ought to be extinct and now they pretty much are.

Just as a note... German has the same translations for "to kill" - umbringen (done by person), töten (generally, by a thing, animal or person) and schlachten (slaughter an animal or like a animal, which also can be "abschlachten"). Also the fact that it has cases like that might be an indicator it's inspired by German or Russian in its structure, but I actually don't know any more languages that use cases for nouns..

I'm not even that big into conlangs but I love your channel because of how well you explain them.

By the name of the gods, he has returned.

I love it. I'm curious whether it would be worth it to make a totally-not-ranking list of languages sorted by their ratings, just to keep track of the languages covered and the broad strokes of their relations.

Ooooh, spoken segment. That really ties the video together... we learn about the language, then hear it afterwards for some practical application! Can't wait for more of those!

After doing some reading, apparently David J Peterson also created a language for one of my favorite series: The 100. Trigedasleng (a language I'd suggest for a review btw) is based on English, and in the canon it was created as a coded form of American English (during nuclear war) that evolved rapidly as a native language over three generations after society fell apart. For that purpose, David did a damn good job.

I love the rhythm heaven stuff you use! Every time I hear it, it makes me smile

8:54 I just noticed that in italian too there are 3 distinct ways to say "to kill", which are more or less synonims to each other "ammazzare" (a bit informal), "uccidere" (classic to kill) and "massacrare" (to massacre)

Him: Sees 2 days, 20 hours, 15 minutes. "Omg, that's way to long." Me: Sees 2 days, 20 hours, 15 minutes. "Hey, that's not really that long, I've watched that much TV plenty of times before. Maybe I should watch Game of Thrones."

(4:25) Well, if you're used to English romanisation, it make sense. But there are other ways to do it, like the Slavic way: c /ts/, č /tʃ/, š /ʃ/ ž /ʒ/, j /j/ (which I personally prefer) And then there's the Swedish way: ts /ts/, tsj /tʃ/, sj /ʃ/, zj /ʒ/, j /j/ And many other systems too.

I have been waiting for this, Janette.

Please bring back the rankings. It would honestly my favorite part of these. 😅

Much more in-depth episode Loving the new season

I mean... Latin also has three words for kill (necare, occidere, interficere among others).

Please do Breadspeak! It is a new conlang from the Vötgil guy, and he watched your video!!

Can you do High Valyrian next?

This is the first video about fictional language i see and I am amazed 😱 how can this be a thing? How can someone create an entire new language? Is too cool i cannot comprehend.

How about Oqolaawak (by Biblaridion)? Or Oa (by Artefixian)?

this is super great, glad to see the improvement in video quality! :^D

great video! hope you're proud of it, i know you worked hard on it

It's about time you uploaded a real video I almost forgot about you

Appreciating the high effort content here

'The Dothraki have no word for 'Thank you'.' 9:35 - 'General Expressions: Haja! = Cheers!' Hmm, seems as if they *do* have a way to say 'thanks' after all.

@jan Misali, what's the chances you might put out a general, "Don't do this with your conlang" compendium?

Fantastic episode! I want more of this. :-D

Great, proper long episodes now!!! Thank you Please could you redo Ithkuil as a long episode?? Please??

Keep it up. We need this

Lord Misali has done it again!

This series has inspired me to create an artlang based on frogs and things frogs care about

Would be cool to get your review of "Sona" by Kenneth Searight. An interesting conlang with an arguably equally interesting backstory.

Is there a way you will do a video about the Barsoomian language from John Carter of Mars books? I’m not even sure if there’s enough info on it or if it’s fleshed out enough for that to be possible but if it is, I’d like to see a video on that

Great video and even better conlang! If only we saw this kind of CLC more than once a year

I missed you!!

This makes me want to make a script for this. They could cite it in the show to some ancient, little-known character who only recently gained attention.

I'm thinking the -ø adjective agreement suffix is essentially a singular, nominative. Does this make sense?

I'm certain that snippet at the end, Khal Drogo's declaration, is the scene that made Jason Momoa a star.

"me" is also 1pl in Finnish, so looking how they handled the two locative cases it could very well be inspired by Finnish too

Methinks "Zero Copula" (seen 'round the 6:30 pt. of this video) would make a great conlang-themed band-name!!

Hello! Have you seen the movie arrival and, if so, have you considered making a video about it?

9:32 that poster is in my school

Even if you have a ten based system you could still have a remnants of another system. Especially scores/vignidecimal like in Danish and French. Or count by dusins and gros like most traders did in Europe dispite ten-based being more official.

i started watching this channel for the conlangs, and now for the Seximal (will still watch conlang vids tho)

I just realized that a lot of times when I'm not trying to muffle a laugh, but my mouth does a weird thing anyway, I make the velar fricative sound, or at least something close to it. Hmm.

10:45 That makes sense in a way. A horse in this culture is not usually something that is entitled to make its own decisions. Any horse you encounter day-to-day would be domesticated, and would usually be seen more as an instrument of a rider's will. Wild horses are simply a natural resource that has yet to be harnessed. A river on the other hand does what it pleases, you don't harness it's power because nobody does that, and if it floods you had best get out of the way. Maybe "mastery" would be a more appropriate term for this concept?

the ending song os a piano cover of Dreams Of Our Generation (or at least i think that is what its called)

what's the superlative plural suffix in Dothraki?

discord.gg/punTtWF Here's a link to our discord if you're interested in learning! We're going to be more active once the semester let's out and our wiki is actually functional XD

FWIW, in (some varieties of) Limburgs “me” is like “man” in German or “on” in French or “one” in particularly pompous English.

Is the music at the end from Rose Guns Days?

13:38 I don't know hardly any dothraki, but isn't Seven Kingdoms (without a definite article at least) a pretty bad translation of Rhaeshis Andahli?

Hi, I'm kinda new to the channel and this video kinda gave me a first very reasonable example of why a conlang should actually exist, and that's obviously art, but I'm confused as to if there are any other reasons one should be created, and so why so many people make conlangs. Can someone explain? (sorry for bad English, non native speaker here)

why, with the consonants, how they are really pronounced is within /slashes/, but for they vowels its within [square brackets]?

Nice rhythm heaven music at the end!

Why do I find it so funny, the way you go through pronouncing all the consonants? Are you intentionally being silly? I genuinely can't tell. 😂

I wonder if trigedaslang is fleshed out enough to do a video on

You should do a review of Belter Creole from The Expanse

Finally it's here! whoo!

IT'S HERE

oh yeah, and DJP had to make two kinds of Valyrian for the show while he was making Dothraki.

Thank you, slow button. I finally can listen to what he said.

Good video. Can I submit a request for any of Tolkien's languages, like Sindarin or Quenya

OMG I AM A HUGE FAN JAN MISELI I LOVE YOU
