More than a million people have signed up to learn one of the fictional languages from 'Game of Thrones.'

"Dracarys!" says Daenerys Targaryen to Drogon, her young dragon, ordering him to spit fire on an incredulous enemy who gets torched alive.

"I applied, with many other very good language creators," Peterson said in a phone interview."The competition had no upper limit on the amount of material you could provide. When I learned that, I spent every single minute of every day working on my proposal -- up to 18 hours a day sometimes. In about a month, I created over 300 pages of material, including grammar, translations and cultural phrases.

How long does it take to design a functional constructed language? According to Peterson, it takes six months to a year to get the grammar up and running, but the speed of TV and movie production means he gets far less than that.Time is not the only factor at play, however."The thing with a language is that it's not actually a physical entity, so you can, in theory, create the whole thing in your head.

What’s up babe?

Imagine if more than a million people signed up to understand how the US Federal Reserve really works.

More than a million people don’t have anything better to do with their lives.

Dumb and dumber.

Maybe apply that fandom to helping a local charity

So, I shouldn’t waste my money on French classes next semester.

Never watched it

Stupidity prevails

But they can't even learn proper skills for a job.

And yet, they still haven't learned their own mother tongue...

Nerds

¿A ver sie estas tontadicas son la realidad?

Millennials....SMH. Help us Tom Cruise, use your witch craft Oprah.....

Dracarys

Pathetic!

These are the same people that collect comics, play video games and still live with mom at the age of 40

LIKES

They should learn something useful like Spanish or French

Translation 1) 'Can I have a cup of coffee to go please - just leave it on that there table - no one will notice'..

Well that will certainly add weight to your resume.

MilleDescubren Millennials be like this.

Can we have that many people sign up in Los Angeles to learn English?

when is ths shit ending...we move on ..ths madness is too much..am sure someone somewhere named a kid GOT..

All of which only speak English.

These people probably don't even know the correct way to use their, there, and they're.

Ffs

Too many people are in la-la land, whether it's with TV, sports or video games. So many adults are unable to construct coherent sentences or perform simple mathematical calculations. People are so helpless that they can't change their own oil or do their own taxes.

Ludicrous 🤪

MrChickeeen jpp des chomeurs wsh😂

They need to get in the bin.

where I sign to learn it LIVE the queen

In the design of the languages of the series, David Patterson was asked to help the famous linguist. Patterson has a full-time grammar with over 2,000 words in the Dutrak language with Russian and Arabic origins.

Why not learn a real language 💁🏻

I wonder how many of those people ever bother to learn something *useful* in their spare time (such as job skills, home/auto repair, finance, politics and current events, mathematics, writing, etc.)?

That would be so useful for modern day reality.

I wish that many people living in Canada would sign up to learn English. Please don’t call me racist, etc. my family immigrated to Canada and everyone learned English - as a priority. The very first thing we did when we were graciously welcomed here

Idiots!

It's shameful to drown inside a series

Can we all just admit it’s over and the human race had a good run

I once tried to learn English, from England, but then I realized they talk funny.😜😜

Hyped, it will die-down.

Kinda like people who want to know how to speak Klingon. It's not exactly 'Code Talkers,' but...

This is why we can't have nice things

Over/under number of months before someone puts this on a resume?

That's interesting

How to form a cult...

I once tried to learn Quenya, an elf language from lord of the rings. But then I realized that I suck at learning new languages 😂

They might as well had just learn whatever language the human female speaks too. It’s foreign, challenging, and doesn’t follow any particular set of rules.

Geez. Maybe try learning an actual, real language. That actual, real people actually speak.

Hopefully they'll be able to translate Klingon into english.

How many had they learned the Elvish from Lord of the Rings?Unless you forgot that....

😜

How to say 'bitch please' Dothraki?

but god forbid they hear someone speaking Spanish or Arabic because they call the police

What a waste of time and resources.

but god forbid they hear someone speaking Spanish because they call the police
