Frequently asked questions
Can this translate any English sentence into High Valyrian?
+
No. High Valyrian was built for the show with a limited vocabulary and a complex grammar of cases and genders. A tool that claims to translate any sentence would give wrong results, so this one only looks up a short list of well-known lines and leaves everything else as typed.
What does valar morghulis mean?
+
It means all men must die, and the reply valar dohaeris means all men must serve. Both are standard High Valyrian greetings from the series.
What about Dothraki?
+
Dothraki is a separate language. A few famous lines are included, such as shekh ma shieraki anni (my sun and stars) and me nem nesa (it is known), but this page is mainly about High Valyrian.
Why are some words reported as unknown?
+
Because the phrasebook is small on purpose. Rather than invent a word, the tool leaves it as you typed it and lists it below the box, so you can see exactly which parts were looked up.
Is my text sent anywhere?
+
No. Everything runs in your browser.
