| Re: Languages of Westeros...
Conveniality?
Its not that surprising actually. I mean the Targaryens have ruled Westeros for 8XX years, for all purposes, one universal language works best. (and even before that there was probably one universal trading laguage).The dialects have probably been integrated, eliminated on purpose. Making it truly one whole. The more remote people seem to have clung more to their old languages. The norries, and the people and skagos are said to have a language of their own if i am not mistaken.
As for beyond the wall, surely they have come in contact with each other over that time. The language has rubbed off,... .
Their is prove though that they are still heavily influenced by what may have been the language of the First Men (e.g Magnar of the Thenns.) |
