Yunkish language

From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
Jump to: navigation, search

Yunkish is a form of bastard Valyrian spoken in the city of Yunkai. Like the mongrel Ghiscari of the other Slaver Cities, the tongue of Yunkai is a form of High Valyrian influenced by Old Ghiscari.[1] The dialect of Yunkai is close enough to that of Astapor to be mutually intelligible.[2]

Quotes

Daenerys: Missandei, what language will these Yunkai'i speak, Valyrian?
Missandei: Yes, Your Grace. A different dialect than Astapor's, yet close enough to understand.[2]
