From A Wiki of Ice and Fire

Jump to: navigation, search

High Valyrian is a language originating from Valyria and the Valyrian Freehold. Corrupted dialects known as bastard Valyrian are spoken in the Free Cities^[1] and Slaver's Bay.^[2]

The episode's title translates to 'all men must serve' in the High Valyrian language in George R. Martin 's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, which the series adapts. The title mirrors that of season 2's finale, ' Valar Morghulis ' – 'all men must die.'
Valar Morghulis means 'All men must die', and Valar Dohaeris means 'All men must serve'. These are both phrases writ in High Valyrian. They have probably gained such popularity due to the cool meaning of the phrases, and the phrases have also become something that all fans of Game Of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire know well.

History

Some of the oldest remaining ancient texts were written by Andals, Valyrians, Ghiscari, and Asshai'i.^[3] After the Old Empire of Ghis was conquered by the Valyrian Freehold in the Ghiscari wars, the Ghiscari began speaking the High Valyrian of their conquerors.^[4]

High Valyrian is no longer widely spoken due to the Doom of Valyria,^[5] and most Valyrian records were destroyed in the catastrophe.^[6] The tongues of the Free Cities have continued to evolve from the original High Valyrian.^[5]

Queen Alysanne Targaryen is said to have begun learning how to read from Valyrian scrolls while still at the breast of her mother, Queen Alyssa Velaryon.^[7] Alysanne's husband, King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, was fascinated with the Old Valyrian scrolls in the library of Dragonstone.^[8]

Racallio Ryndoon is said to have spoken a dozen dialects of Valyrian.^[9] Lord Alyn Velaryon studied Valyrian treaties about warship design and sea tactics when he visited the Citadel.^[9]Larra Rogare, the wife of Prince Viserys Targaryen, was fluent in High Valyrian and the dialects of Lys, Myr, Tyrosh, and Volantis.^[10]

Some highborn children of Westeros are still taught Valyrian as a sign of their noble education.^[11]^[12] Songs^[13] and scrolls^[14]^[15] are still sung and read in High Valyrian, although by 300 AC most Westerosi nobles cannot understand the language.^[13]

The Valyrian writing system, or at least a Valyrian writing system, is described as involving glyphs.^[25] It was also probably standard practice to write on scrolls, and not in books.^[26] The glyphs can also be inscribed, as on an old Valyrian dragon horn, which, when sounded, had 'every line and letter shimmering with white fire.'^[27] Valyrian carvings have been found on obelisks.^[28]

Valyrian steel is forged with spells, as well as hammers.^[29] Some smiths still know them, although not entirely.^[30]

The Valyrians most likely gave Valyrian names to their dragons, as the dragons Balerion, Meraxes, Vhagar, and Syrax were named after Valyrian gods and goddesses.^[38]^[39] However, not all dragons of House Targaryen had Valyrian names (e.g., Queen Alysanne Targaryen's dragon, Silverwing^[31]).

Eight of the nine Free Cities were founded as colonies of the Valyrian Freehold, and are thus likely to bear Valyrian names as well:

Volantis's satellite towns of Selhorys, Valysar, and Volon Therys likely have Valyrian names as well. It is also probable that Elyria, Mantarys, Oros, Tolos, Tyria, and Velos are Valyrian in name, being cities close to Old Valyria.^[40]

Bastard Valyrian

Free Cities

Bastard Valyrian includes the languages of the nine Free Cities.^[1] Each of the cities has its own dialect, and each dialect likely has its own separate derived vocabulary. Syrio Forel of Braavos speaks the Common Tongue with a lilting accent.^[41] One of the Brave Companions is described as having a thick Myrish accent.^[42]

The Free Cities use glyphs to write Valyrian.^[43] The Valyrian of the Free Cities is described as sounding 'liquid'.^[44]

Slaver Cities

The Old Empire of Ghis was conquered by the Valyrian Freehold five thousand years ago, and the Ghiscari have since spoken High Valyrian. The Slaver's Bay cities of Yunkai, Meereen, and Astapor have their own versions of bastard Valyrian, which have been influenced mainly by Old Ghiscari, the ancient language of Old Ghis. Like the Free Cities, the people of the Slaver Cities use glyphs to write Valyrian.^[2]

Astapori Valyrian is described as having a 'characteristic growl,' influenced by Ghiscari.^[2] The dialect of Yunkai is close enough to that of Astapor to be mutually intelligible.^[45]

Yunkai used to be part of the Old Empire of Ghis, and has multiple languages spoken in the city. Mhysa, Maela, Aelalla, Qathei, and Tato are given as words for 'mother', but which tongue fits which word is unknown (excepting the first, which is Ghiscari).^[45]

Some slavers speak a mongrel tongue,^[46] a blend of Old Ghiscari and High Valyrian.^[47]
