High Valyrian is a constructed language created by David J. Peterson for Game of Thrones and expanded for House of the Dragon. Duolingo’s course is the practical starting path; grammar documentation and community dictionaries fill gaps. Expect a rich inflectional system — closer to a classical language classroom than a phrasebook.
