Would it be at all possible to just put this into a google doc and get updates in real time? I think that may be easier then trying to update and sync our two documents.

The maps were really expensive so I just hand drew them. If you can see the faint penciled in lines dividing up Havazh Dothraki (since I had to drop the quality from 2000kb to 250), those are possible dialect borders I drew, in case I wanted to go all out and start evolving Dothraki standard

Dothraki Language Updates / Re: What in the world is going on
« on: December 12, 2016, 06:49:07 am »
It's bizarre that for the past year now I've always thought this to be true.
The worst of the salt being rubbed in my wounds is that this now clears up a lot of inconsistencies in my previous work. Especially when it comes to plurals and diminutives:
My arakh
arakhi anni
arakh anni
My arakhs
arakhi anni
arakh anni
My little arakh
arakhisi anni
arakhi anni
My little arakhs
arakhisi anni
arakhi anni
My father's arakh
arakhi avesisi anni
arakh avesi anni
My fathers' little arakhs
arakhisi avesisisi anni
arakhi avesisi anni
Under my fathers' little arakhs
torga arakhisisi avesisisi anni
torga arakhisi avesisi anni
Needless to say, I am a tad bit embarrassed by my glaring mistakes with the language. The worst of it being the translations I've done for youtube videos, and the dedication I translated for Helen Keen's new book, The Science of Game of Thrones (check it out it an awesome book). Thankfully, the professional book dedication did not contain any genitives and looking back on it, it appears to be completely fine grammar wise. I will, however, be contacting the youtubers I worked with and hopefully be able to get them to reupload the videos with a much improved grammar.

Dothraki Language Updates / What in the world is going on
« on: December 11, 2016, 12:53:55 pm »
Hey was their an update or change in the language? Something screwy is happening to me.
I've always, always been under the impression that when you use the genitive, the possessor and the possessee are put in the genitive case:
my arakh
arakhi anni
However, I looked back at the syntax page of the wiki and every example of a possessive only has the possessor in the genitive:
my arakh
arakh anni
All of my notes say that the genitive encompasses both, and I took my notes straight from the wiki, but suddenly all of that is changed. Am I completely batshit!? Have I been wrong this whole time!?
This is like the Berenstain Bears all over again...
Help!

Gaeeeeeezo, I totally feel you right now. I got my last two finals on Monday and Tuesday (which is the main reason why I've been AWOL on this forum) and I'm so pumped for my month off. Next weekend will be mostly devoted to the Dothraki by writing the first drafts of my Dothraki culture book, helping you with the bibble, and submitting my video application to italki.
Wish me luck!

Valyrian Language Updates / Descartes
« on: November 23, 2016, 06:27:22 pm »
So in my studies of High Valyrian, I cam across the section of the wiki that dealt with the aorist 'to be'. I found this very fascinating, because it's such a bizarre and complicated structure that will almost never be used in day to day talk. DJP wrote about how he didn't really know of a way to use it, but I think I found the perfect use of these verbs:
I think, therefore I am
which would translate to:
Nyke otāpin, sebisa nyke iksin
I think, therefore I am
which would translate to:
Nyke otāpin, sebisa nyke iksin

Hello hello
Your name should be nerro naqis. When describing a noun, the adjective comes after the noun.
I'd be happy to talk to you and help you out if ever you have a problem. If you have a question feel free to post in the forum and ask to your heart's desire.
I look forward to having you on the forum.

Dothraki Language Updates / The Atlas of the Dothraki
« on: November 15, 2016, 08:38:05 am »
Hey everyone,
In my last post I talked a little bit about the stories of the Dothraki people that I have been writing. These stories are apart of a larger project idea that I had for the Dothraki community and I wanted to get some feedback from you guys.
My idea is to write a book, an atlas of sorts, about all the aspects of Dothraki culture. From traditional weapon making to constellations, this book will hold all the information about what makes the fearsome warriors all that much more human. I wanted to get feedback from as many members of this community as possible, incorporating and expanding upon elements of a culture that you may want to be apart of the atlas, so that this isn't just some book of random things I made up and instead being something that was actually built from a community of people. This book will contain in depth descriptions, diagrams, pictures and instructions on pieces of their culture. Hopefully, if we work through enough legal tape, we could get GRRM to add some of his own content and maybe get this published too. I would love to see this come to life, and any critique, comment, volunteerment, or resources that you have will me much appreciated!
So far I have a list of ideas that could go into this book:
-oral tradition
-clothing
-paintings and tattoos
-jewelry
-traditional dance
-musical instruments
-childhood games
-hunting techniques
-khalasar hierarchy
-rituals
-family life
-regional differences
-weapons
-fauna
-battle tactics
-superstitions
-constellations/birth signs
-historic moments
-old traditions
-new traditions
-disease and apothecary
-dialects of the language
-enemies
-art and monuments
-taboos
-artifacts
I imagine this to be similar to the book Gnomes by Wil Huygen (a fantastic read) and I can't wait to see your guy's responses!
