More than a million people have signed up to learn one of the fictional languages from 'Game of Thrones.'
"Dracarys!" says Daenerys Targaryen to Drogon, her young dragon, ordering him to spit fire on an incredulous enemy who gets torched alive.
"I applied, with many other very good language creators," Peterson said in a phone interview."The competition had no upper limit on the amount of material you could provide. When I learned that, I spent every single minute of every day working on my proposal -- up to 18 hours a day sometimes. In about a month, I created over 300 pages of material, including grammar, translations and cultural phrases.
How long does it take to design a functional constructed language? According to Peterson, it takes six months to a year to get the grammar up and running, but the speed of TV and movie production means he gets far less than that.Time is not the only factor at play, however."The thing with a language is that it's not actually a physical entity, so you can, in theory, create the whole thing in your head.
