The Art of Language Invention is an occasional (since there's no way I can keep to a regular schedule) YouTube series that details the ins and outs of language creation. If you were ever curious about what's involved in creating a new language or are just curious about language in general, this series is for you!

The Art of Language Invention is hosted by David J. Peterson, creator of the Dothraki and Valyrian languages for HBO's Game of Thrones, as well as the creator of the languages for shows such as Syfy's Defiance, Syfy's Dominion, the CW's The 100, Netflix's Bright, and Showtime's Penny Dreadful. David's been creating languages for 15 years, and published a book on the subjected entitled The Art of Language Invention, published by Penguin Books.

If you have a question you'd like David to answer on the show, leave a comment, or send an e-mail!
