Haha, I thought it was funny.

My linguistics professor was also named David Peterson, at the time that Game of Thrones was first coming out on HBO. When I saw that David Peterson was also the creator of the ASOIAF languages for the show, I got incredibly excited and asked him about it.

I think it was pretty obvious how disappointed I was when he said that, no, in fact, he was a different David Peterson and recording dying languages in the Himalayas was just as exciting as making up fake languages thank you very much.

Anyways I guess my question is: how do you decide what phonemes to include in your languages?
