Dothraki Fanbase

Taronyu · June 19, 2010, 05:00:31 AM

It's about to start up. I'm hoping to be one of the first to learn it. I've made a new topic, because they seem to have started websites. I think I'm going to email the dude and see what can be done about releasing more information, and how forthcoming he is going to be with information. Anyone with me?

I am with you, my friend. Although I don't think that'll be possible, since you have the copyright issues... but we can always learn the corpus as the series progress, as with Na'vi.

Ah, more GoT fans. Good good.

I must say I haven't read the novels... and I don't know what are those about... but I would like to watch the HBO's series.

You won't regret watching. And if you like fantasy, the books are definitely something to read :-)

In the spirit of LearnNavi, I think you all should join this group: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Learn-Dothraki/134912239875220

Ok, guys, check this out.

The Dothraki Dictionary

Wow! This is so cool! Where did you get the data from??

May I only point out that serj leather vest is actually the accusative form of serja which is the nominative leather vest? This is according to David Peterson himself in this interview

Great job!

Taronyu · July 23, 2010, 04:29:31 PM

Yeah. I figured that serj is the base form. I've noticed the same thing with Vaes Dothrak > Dothraki.

I hope you all don't plan on leaving us for dead

It seems interesting but I haven't watched or read any of it so no decision on it just yet.

Taronyu · July 23, 2010, 06:23:01 PM

Don't worry - Na'vi is still hapxì oeyä.

But, in other news, check out this vowel chart for Dothraki, based on the nine clips we've got so far:

wm.annis · July 30, 2010, 09:48:16 AM

I thought the /a/ was pretty funky.

Taronyu · July 30, 2010, 10:19:38 AM

Yeah. And the i appears to be two, the e is all over the place, and the o also appears to be two. I need to look harder at their phonological environment.

Well, it's got [q], which causes vowel quality mayhem in every language I know if that has it. I suspect hanky-panky related to accenting, too, but it's not clear.
