Taking a break from grammar, I thought I’d write up a little guide about how to write Dothraki using the Arabic script. It’s actually mostly written up, so all I have to do is transfer it over to the blog (heh, heh…). Of course, one might wonder: Why would I already have a guide for… Continue reading Dothraki in Arabic

Happy birthday,… Continue reading Fog Talking

Dothraki Writing System…?
Periodically I’ll spotlight cool stuff being done by Dothraki community members here on the blog. Today I want to take a look at something really cool done by Dothraki.org member Qvaak. Prior to the Fourth Language Creation Conference, attendees took part in the LCC4 Conlang Relay. To start the relay off, I provided a text… Continue reading Dothraki Writing System…?
