Translate English text into High Valyrian, the constructed language from Game of Thrones created by linguist David J. Peterson.
Valyrian is a constructed language created by linguist David J. Peterson for HBO's Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. High Valyrian serves as the classical literary language of the Valyrian Freehold, while Low Valyrian dialects evolved across the Free Cities of Essos. The language features a complex grammar system with four grammatical numbers, noun classes, and verb conjugations.
This translator converts English text into High Valyrian using the vocabulary and grammar rules established by David J. Peterson. High Valyrian is the prestige form of the language, spoken by Daenerys Targaryen and the dragonlords of Old Valyria. It features distinctive sounds and a Latin-like grammatical structure with cases, declensions, and agreement patterns.
The Valyrian lexicon includes hundreds of documented words covering topics from dragons and warfare to everyday life. Famous phrases like "Valar morghulis" (all men must die) and "Dracarys" (dragonfire) have become iconic. This tool helps you construct new phrases and sentences following authentic Valyrian grammar and vocabulary.
All men must die, but we are not men.

Valyrian is a constructed language (conlang) created by linguist David J. Peterson for HBO's Game of Thrones. While it's not a natural language, it has a fully developed grammar system, vocabulary of over 2,000 words, and consistent phonological rules. It functions as a real language in terms of structure, but it was purpose-built for the show rather than evolving naturally over centuries.
High Valyrian is the classical, prestige form of the language, similar to how Latin relates to Romance languages. It has complex grammar with four grammatical numbers, multiple noun classes, and full case declensions. Low Valyrian refers to the various degraded dialects that evolved in the Free Cities and Slaver's Bay after the Doom of Valyria, each with simplified grammar and local vocabulary changes.
This translator uses the vocabulary and grammar rules established by David J. Peterson in his published work and language documentation. For words and concepts that don't have official Valyrian equivalents, the translator constructs new forms following the language's established morphological patterns and word-building rules, maintaining grammatical consistency.
Dracarys means 'dragonfire' in High Valyrian. It's used as a command by Daenerys Targaryen to order her dragons to breathe fire. The word derives from the Valyrian root 'zaldrīzes' (dragon) combined with fire-related morphology, though it has been shortened into a single command word.
Yes, to a degree. High Valyrian has enough documented vocabulary and grammar to form complex sentences and hold basic conversations. David J. Peterson has published grammar guides, and Duolingo offers a High Valyrian course. However, the vocabulary is still limited compared to natural languages, so some concepts require creative circumlocution.
