Many of you know that Dothraki and Valyrian language creator David Peterson was working on a book on language creation. Well, the book is now available for pre-order. Follow the link below for more information. And if you help spread the word about the book, you might get your name used to coin a word in one of David's TV/film conlangs! (David loves to coin words from people's names.)

The book is out now, and I just got my copy. From what I can see so far, this book is destined to become one of the great classics (and a very useful reference work) on the subject of language creation! Dothraki features prominently in the book, along with High Valyrian and several other well-known languages that David has created.
