I’m starting my first year at university in a few months and I’ll be studying linguistics, so this video was particularly interesting and enjoyable for me. I especially liked the advice about studying unrelated languages since as a native speaker of Russian who is also studying English and Korean I can assure you that this recommendation is really good. Being immersed into these three completely different languages has definitely broadened my horizons!

Yes! I was so fascinated finding out the Dothraki language that reminded me of persian and arabian was a constructed language, and immediately wanted to know more about David. So cool to see someone that like JRR created a language, but in modern time so I can actually get some tips ? Thanks for this video. I hope someday I can create a language aswell for my future stories.

Even thought it’s a very “you are your own worst critic” art, I believe that fictional lanugage construction doesn’t get enough traction as a hobby or a job. You learn a lot of things about logic, human behavior, aestheticism and categorization, among other things.

Interesting that a linguist would say Turkish and Japanese are not related. They’re actually very similar. So similar they are/were proposed to be in the same family, Altaic. Both have SOV word order, both are agglutinative languages, both have suffixes/particles for grammatical relations.
Baptiste Faussat
May 25, 2019 at 1:18 pm
That doesn’t mean they’re related. The word for dog in the extinct Australian language Mbabaram is famously dog, but it’s not a loanword or a cognate, just a coincidence. There are thousands of languages on the planet, coincidental similarities are bound to happen. The Altaic theory has been discredited since the 1960’s.
TheMrVengeance
May 25, 2019 at 1:47 pm
+Baptiste Faussat – For someone talking about linguistics you sure have trouble reading. I never said they ARE related.
I said they’re very similar. (In many more ways than similar words, so go away with your straw man.)
They’re so similar linguistics for a long time thought they WERE related.
His advice was to learn very different languages, to broaden your knowledge.
My point was that Japanese and Turkish aren’t that.
Baptiste Faussat
May 25, 2019 at 4:07 pm
+TheMrVengeance I saw several people in the comments of this video claiming they are related, often quite rudely, so I preferred to immediately make it clear for anyone reading the comments that they aren’t.
Japanese doesn’t have vowel harmony, plural, person and possessive suffixes or definiteness, and doesn’t allow non-verb-final word orders, while Turkish doesn’t have honorific prefixes, polite forms for adjectives, or respectful verbs. They still differ quite a lot.

It’s more akin to Latin. Lots of languages are SOV and use postpositions, but Peterson deliberately made Valyrian reminiscent of Latin because that’s what Martin had in mind.
