It seems that their culture is very insular. And in the case of Dothraki, they are at a technology level that's below even that. The world of 'Game of Thrones' is at a significantly lower level of technology than the modern world. I think about these people and ask: "What are their lives supposed to be like?", "Who do they interact with on a regular basis?" and "How do those interactions shape their own culture?" The second factor is their level of technology. First, the topography of the area, which helps determine what these people do and don't have words for, and what their lifestyle is like. Peterson described part of his creation process for Dothraki: Peterson of the Language Creation Society. The Dothraki language was created by David J. "Athjahakar" was intentionally slurred as "atjakhar" so Missandei could correct Daenerys's mistake. "Drogo said I spoke Dothraki like one born to it. Zhey Drogo ast me-Dothraki thasho h’anhaan ven anha ray yol mehas. This brief line occurred when Daenerys and Missandei are discussing the Dothraki language in " Second Sons": Peterson on in November 2012, there is actually only one line in the Dothraki language in Season 3 of the TV series. However, the Vocative particle may also be used reflexively when the subject is referring to himself: Khal Drogo swears " Anha, zhey Drogo, atak jin" (I, Drogo, will do this). However, Daenerys says " Zhey qoy qoyi!" (Blood of my blood!) when addressing her bloodriders, or simply " zhey Rakharo" (literally just "Rakharo"), when trying to get Rakharo's attention. For example, Rakharo says to Irri, " Hash yer ray tih loy alegra, zhey vikeesi?" (Have you seen any ducks, woman?). Thus there is no direct English equivalent for zhey, though it basically means "you", or more loosely, "hey", and often isn't directly translated as its own word in a sentence. While the Vocative case was present in the Proto-Indo-European language, it fell out of use in modern Romance languages, as well as Germanic languages such as English and German (but is still present in Celtic and Slavic languages). zhey - the Vocative particle in the Dothraki language, used when directly addressing the object of a sentence thus it is very frequently heard in Dothraki dialogue.Vaes Dothrak - the only Dothraki city, located deep within the Dothraki Sea.Qoy Qoyi - (literally, "blood of my blood") the style of address between Khal and bloodrider.On the death of a khal, a ko may try to become the new khal, or split off his own riders to form a new, smaller khalasar. Ko - Kos are lieutenants of a khal, commanding subdivisions of a khalasar.Khalasar - Dothraki clan or tribe, led by a khal. Because riding commands tend to be shortened down from full sentences, riders often just exclaim "valad!" (literally, "horizon!") to say "giddyup!", but this is clipped from the full phrase.
