david j peterson, the creator of all the languages
“I think Emilia may have misunderstood what I said, because I've never criticized her Dothraki. Why would I? Her character was never supposed to speak it like a first language, so she never had to be good at it.”
“Criticizing any imperfections in her Dothraki performance would be like criticizing Colin Firth for stuttering in The King's Speech. It would be entirely missing the point,” he said. “In fact, grammatical and punctuation errors were built into many of her Dothraki lines — and these were included in the MP3s I recorded for her — for this very purpose.”
He continued, “No, Emilia Clarke did a fine job with Dothraki, in that she was portraying a character who, through incredible hardship, is forced to learn a language she's never heard before and eventually becomes functionally fluent in the manner of a non-native speaker — and in a relatively short amount of time.”
in the past he has praised jacob anderson's valyrian
David was most impressed with Jacob Anderson's usage of Valyrian and said that his delivery brings 'joy to my heart. "Everything. He pronounced the language in such a way that it was better than anything I could ever have hoped to have done. After I heard him do it, I tried to imitate him. It's so spot on it brings joy to my heart," he explained.
