Dothraki is a constructed fictional language featured in George R. R.R.'s fairytale series "A Song of Ice and Fire." R. Martin, satellite television adaptation of Game of Thrones. It is spoken by the Dothraki, a nomadic people in the fictional world of the series. The language for the television series was developed by language creator David J.
