The Rhoynish language is the tongue spoken by the Rhoynar, a race of men originating around the Rhoyne river in western Essos. While it is not as widespread as it once was, it is still spoken secretly in Dorne by the orphans of the Greenblood.[1]
History
The Red Princes of Dorne attempted to outlaw the language.[1]
Quotes
Standing apart from the rest of the Dornish—salty or sandy or stony alike—are the orphans of the Greenblood, who wept when Nymeria burned their ships. From their ruins they made their poleboats, to ply the Greenblood and dream of the day that they could return to Mother Rhoyne. Of pure Rhoynish blood, they still speak their tongue amongst themselves, it is said—though in secret after the three successors of Nymeria's grandson, Prince Mors II, attempted to forbid it.[1]
