Title: Dothraki in the news (in French)
Post by: Hrakkar on November 15, 2011, 01:25:02 pm
Here's an interesting article that is apparently from a French periodical. It addresses conlangs in general, and specifically mentions Dothraki, Klingon, Na'vi, Sindarin and Quenya. Examples of each languages are given. I can only understand bits of it, as I do not know much French.

That article is a few months old now. I thought there was a link to it somewhere else on here but I can't find it just now. The author got my email from David but never contacted me. Instead they took some phrases from the wiki.I believe parts of the Na'vi info was also taken from their forums rather than speaking directly with someone.

Hey,
found this url in a referrer linking to the wiki, is basically a blog entry around the amount of words for “kill” and the amount of synonyms in German/English.

Is it this link that is ultimately generating all the false registration attempts on the wiki right now?
