In George R.R. Martin&rsquo;s series of novels <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/george-r-r-martins-original-ending-to-game-of-thrones/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">A Song of Ice and Fire</a>, there are only about 30 different Dothraki words used. When HBO adapted the series Game of Thrones for the small screen, they called upon linguist expert David J. Peterson to come up with a complete language for the nomadic war tribe. Today, there are over 3,000 words that make up the Dothraki language.

The word Dothraki means &ldquo;to ride a horse.&rdquo; Game of Thrones fans know that the Queen of Dragons, Daenerys Targaryen, is sometimes referred to as &ldquo;Khaleesi.&rdquo; Khaleesi is a Dothraki term that means the wife of Khal (ruler), a title she assumed when she married Khal Drogo. Just how popular is Game of Thrones? In 2012, 146 newborn baby girls in the United States were named Khaleesi.

If you want to learn Dothraki, here are 50 of the most popular Dothraki phrases and words. The language includes a few put downs like Vikeesi and Yer affesi anna, but it has no official word for thank you. Skip the boring Latin lessons and learn the language of the nomadic horse warriors instead. &nbsp;

TV Quotes

While many of the characters on HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones had important things to say during their time on the show, some of the words uttered at the end of their lives hold the most sway. Many of Game of Thrones characters&#39;s famous last words might be surprising, but most are pretty telling as their final words were often spoken moments before death.

Granted, some of the last words spoken by GoT characters were said long before they died on screen, they stand as a lasting reminder of the people who make up this incredible world. This list highlights the main characters from the series who have died, but characters who were resurrected won&#39;t be featured, so don&#39;t expect to hear the final lines from the Lord Commander just yet on this list.

HBO&#39;s Game of Thrones was one of the biggest shows on television, but it wouldn&#39;t be much of anything were it not for the incredible characters fighting against or alongside one another to sit upon <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>. Looking back over the eight seasons and 70+ episodes, it&#39;s difficult to recall what some of the first words spoken by GoT characters actually were.

A character&#39;s opening line can help to establish who they are in just a short period of time, and while many of the first words spoken by the core cast aren&#39;t all that telling, some of them might surprise you. This list comprises the core characters from the show with their opening lines. When their first uttering was a simple greeting or name, it has been combined with the following sentence, but otherwise, these are the first lines spoken by the main characters on Game of Thrones.

Valyrian languages were created for the television adaptation of Game of Thrones by a linguist named David Peterson, the current go-to guy in Hollywood, who has made a very nice career inventing fake languages for movies and television shows. The High Valyrian language on Game of Thrones is similar to real-world modern day Latin in that it is a mostly dead language. However high born children of Essos and Westeros, like Arya Stark and Daenerys Targaryen, are taught the language in order to show off their education. Here are 50 of the most important High Valyrian phrases and words.

Fan favorite Missandei said of the Valyrian languages: &ldquo;The gods could not devise a more perfect tongue. It is the only proper language for poetry.&rdquo; The expert translator and advisor to Daenerys knows a thing or two about languages - she&#39;s&nbsp;fluent in 19 different tongues.

If you want to learn High Valyrian, this easy to use translator is a great place to start. There are about 700 High Valyrian total words. However, most of the language&rsquo;s important phrases and words are listed below. Unfortunately, Game of Thrones won&rsquo;t last forever, but the unique High Valyrian language invented specifically for the television series will live on long after a new heir takes <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a>.&nbsp;

For eight seasons, we all wondered who would&nbsp;end up with their buttcheeks on <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/26-famous-pop-culture-figures-sitting-on-the-iron-throne/chaz-fletcher?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Iron Throne</a> as the rightful&nbsp;ruler of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/aquaman-what-are-the-seven-kingdoms/jonathan-kantor?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the Seven Kingdoms</a> on&nbsp;Game of Thrones.&nbsp;Way<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/fan-theories-about-the-night-king/carly-silver" target="_blank"> back in Season 1</a>,&nbsp;Cersei Lannister told Ned Stark, &quot;When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die,&quot; and the subsequent liberation of Ned&#39;s head from his cumbersome body proved how right she was. After that, Cersei&nbsp;spent her fair share of time on the most coveted seat in Westeros, succeeding her husband Robert Baratheon, her demonic spawn&nbsp;Joffrey, and, of course, dear sweet Tommen.

None of them could hold on to power, though, so it wasn&#39;t a surprise when&nbsp;Cersei&#39;s reign didn&#39;t continue unabated. Dany briefly returned a Targaryen to the seat of power, but Jon Snow remained very &quot;Jon Snow&quot; and murdered his lover before she could harm any more innocents.&nbsp;

While the Iron Throne itself is gone (thanks to an angry&nbsp;Drogon) Bran Stark ended up Westeros&#39;s rightful ruler. As Tyrion said, stories unite people, and to Tyrion,&nbsp;no one&#39;s story was as powerful as Bran the Broken&#39;s. Jon&nbsp;made his way back to the Night Watch, Arya Stark went to discover what was west of Westereos,&nbsp;and Sansa Stark served as the Queen of the newly independent North.&nbsp;

26 Amazing Reactions to the Game Of Thrones Season 4 Finale

We imagine every character in George R.R. Martin's universe in a certain way. Likewise, as more and more characters are realized in HBO's Game of Thrones, we now ONLY envision the actors that way. How weird would it be to see HODOR walking down the street? Or Daenerys without her trademark platinum hair? Or Tyrion Lannister in jeans and a t-shirt? It just wouldn't be right. Seeing&nbsp;Game of Thrones actors in other roles is just wrong. But where else have you seen the GoT cast?&nbsp;Here are some hints: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Love, Actually, and freaking Return of the Jedi.Well, these guys are actors, of course, so they HAVE, in fact, all played other roles - and done a damn fine job of it, too.

20 Cats Who Look Like GoT Characters

All across the Seven Kingdoms, people are getting burned. And not just by dragons. Insults fly across the realm, whether your mother was a whore or you have no honor. No one is safe from a verbal lashing or quick put down. What are the best insults ever thrown down on Game of Thrones or in <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/real-meaning-of-game-of-thrones-prince-that-was-promised/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">A Song of Ice and Fire</a>?

Some characters are known for their sharp wit and frequent barbs. Tyrion Lannister is the most prolific insulter in Westeros. He can take it just as well as he can dish it out and is never wanting for a great comeback.&nbsp;Insults must run in the Lannister blood, as Cersei can also be relied upon for an epic burn. However, she usually lacks the wordplay and artistry of Tyrion, choosing instead to hurt her target as deeply as possible.

Many GoT insults focus on the target&#39;s birth. Was your mother a whore? Get ready to hear about it for the rest of your life. But nothing is off limits and there&#39;s no shortage of classic jabs at another person&#39;s looks, pointed statements about one&#39;s talents (or lack thereof) on the battlefield, and sarcastic mentions of a man&#39;s lack of honor.

Vote up the absolute best insults from Game of Thrones - either the HBO series or the George R. R. Martin books. If your favorite put down isn&#39;t here, add it below, and be sure to check out more <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-to-watch-if-you-love-game-of-thrones/watchworthy" target="_blank">shows like Game of Thrones.</a>
