Well done, well done, Martin. But what is the linguistic differences between each of the Seven Kingdoms?

dunno lol

Language is the most dominant force in politics and earthly conquest.

>They speak Dornish in Dorne and, uh, the common tongue everywhere else?
Why doesn't the North have a dialect lonked to the first men, anyway? That's a glaring omission.
>The North remembers, but forgets it's own language
The Dornish having their own tongue is explained by them never being subjugated, I thought maybe Oldtown and the Maesters homogenised the tongue in Westeros.

dude lets describe trees for 20 pages lmao

trees are comfykino you fucking degenerate

I genuinely don't know which author you're critising here.

Whats the L̶i̶c̶h̶ Night King's Tax Policy?
What does he eat? What are his bowel movements like? Does he have sex?
THIS IS IMPORTANT!

>makes up languages for fun
>writes the greatest fantasy world ever just because the languages have to come from somewhere

what the hell man

>But what is the linguistic differences between each of the Seven Kingdoms?
Yeah, this is fucking stupid and lazy

A continent the size of South America and the only people not speaking the common tongue are a minority of fools in the upper North!? Not even dialects!? Fuck that!

It's funny that in the tiny area of the Beyond the Wall each tribe has their own language but the rest of Westeros all speaks the same language with no dialects or diverging languages.

I mean, GRRM really wants me to believe a peasant from the North would understand a peasant from Dorne?

Does the Balrog speak Infernal or Abyssal??? Serious responses only pls

The fat fuck is the one who describes food for 20 pages. Maybe we really need communism, the salad dodger would have an excuse to think about food all the time then.

Woah..A Song of Ice and Fire is trash...who knew?

You guys are a real bunch of eye openers.

woah that's CRAZY! Next you'll be telling me dragons are real

no its actually very good and GRRM is very respectful of Tolkien its literally only people on Yea Forums and Yea Forums that pretend its some sort of rival work

You seem to have confused ASOIAF with LOTR

Fuck off.

Here's an autistic language map I made up

Right? The first men are clearly based on celts as opposed to the anglo Andals so why don't the fuckers living in NotWales and NotScotland have their own languages?

That's a dumb line of argument that gets used to dismiss lazy worldbuilding or storytelling in SF/F. There's a difference between foundational conceits that are necessary for the story that the author wants to tell (dragons, magic, FTL travel, humanlike aliens) and needless implausibilities, resulting from laziness or ignorance, in cases where there's no reason for the setting to depart from reality.

Most likely quenya
Possibly valarin

Damn that's a good question though. Sauron made up black speech for his minions, so what did the minions of Morgoth speak?

why does grrm want his characters to speak like brits even though he's lived in new mexico his whole life.

Before the internet hobbies were a slippery slope
If the internet had been around in the 1910s Lenin would have just shitposted on /pol/ about the Tsar and his qt daughters would never have been gruesomely murdered

>salad dodger
kek

First men dornish and common is spoken in Westeros, probably some Valyrian before Roberts rebellion, northerners don’t speak the old tongue because the wall separated them from it, there’s like 15 languages in essos

And Tolkien has what, 4 languages? Common elvish dwarven and eastern? Black speech is basically just evil elvish

because like the welsh and scots they got pwned by whatever the anglo analog is?

They all speak common tongue in Westeros except some Wildlings, you're making shit up to excuse it

I noticed everyone tearing into "capons" in Martin's books. Turns out capons are castrated male chickens. Why does he love castration so much?

American accents in fantasy are just too jarring. Remember the D&D movie with that black character speaking ebonics? Ridiculous.
