I’m not sure what the practical application would be for this, but now students at UC Berkley can learn the made up language Dothraki from the TV show Game of Thrones. For those who are not familiar with the show or the book series, The Dothraki a nomadic tribe of people who live in the plains of the fictional country of Essos.
