Anthony Appleyard Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 In Essos place names, the consonant Q (without a following U) abounds. In real languages, in transcriptions of Semitic languages and Central Asian Turkic languages, Q means a sound like K but pronounced further back in the throat. Is that the intended pronunciation in Dothraki and Valyrian? How often are actors successful in pronouncing this Q sound? (Distinguish from modern Chinese Pinyin, where Q is pronounced like "ch" in "cheese".) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
